Convert text to quint16

Question

I want to convert a QString to quint16. I'm reading a port number from a textBox, and I need to convert it into quint16 format for my UDP socket writeData() function.

Is it easier to store the text in a QByteArray then convert it? If so, I've only found the modifier toUint(), but nothing for quint16.

Answer 1

According to the Qt docs, quint16 is just a typedef for unsigned short - so you can simply use QString::toUShort.
