cegui getText problem

[yuriythebest]

I know this is a cegui question but I'l ask it here on account I'l get an answer faster then in the cegui forums. I'm trying to save the text from an edit box (wthe thingy where you inputt the text) into a String.

I have

someString=theEditBox->getText();

and I get

error C2679: binary '=' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'const CEGUI::String' (or there is no acceptable conversion)
1> D:\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\include\xstring(875): could be 'std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Ax> &std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Ax>::operator =(const std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Ax> &)'

I tried using the stringConverter::tostring bu that didn't help either.

while trying to match the argument list '(Ogre::String, const CEGUI::String)'

What the compiler is telling you is that the getText() function (right-hand operand, which returns a CEGUI::String) cannot be assigned (the = operator) into an Ogre::String.

Easiest solution:

CEGUI::String someString=theEditBox->getText();

thanks Rackle!
