However, I'll use static_cast<>() when typecasting a (void *) to some other type - usually the (void *) is a pointer to a class that is being sent to a static private callback function within the class itself. But for a simple "I need to convert from one basic type to another basic type", static_cast seems overkill. IMO, cprogramming.com is a pretty unreliable site for answering C/C++ questions. The C++ FAQ that gets referenced here often is significantly more accurate. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *NEW* MyTaskFocus 1.0 Get on task.
