How to pass a string literal to a function which takes const std::wstring&

I have a function which takes const std::wstring& font_family, i.e.

Font Font::CreateFont(const std::wstring& font_family){ ... }

By question is how can I call that funcion by passing a string literal (e.g monospace)?

I tried

CreateFont("monospace");
CreateF开发者_运维技巧ont("std::wstring("monospace") );

Both does not compile. Any one have better idea?

Thank you.

Try:

CreateFont(L"monospace");

The leading "L" directs the compiler to generate a wide (wchar_t) string.

std::wstring s(L"Monospace");
CreateFont(s);

the ctor for wstring doesn't accept narrow characters, only wides...
