Chapter 6. String

Table of Contents

6.1. tsStringAnsiToWide
6.2. tsStringAlloc
6.3. tsStringDispose

All strings are null terminated. The wide strings represents the UCS-2 standard. Each char needs 2 byte (1 word) space and can hold the character range U+0000 - U+FFFF.

With these functions you can convert ansi to wide, allocate and dispose them. The created strings are not bound to any context so you can use it anywhere you want. To convert an ansi to wide string you will need an bound context because the context holds the required codepage. For the complete List of supported codepages see below.

[Warning] Warning

All strings you have allocated or converted will be registered and if you call tsQuit they will be freed.
