Since you're using C++, have you tried using the C++-style streaming
operators?  For example,
  #include <sstream>
  // ...
  std::istringstream iss(tmp, std::istringstream::in);
  tmp >> wVar;

The atoi() function, as well as countless other C-style standard functions,
are considered "legacy" when used in a modern C++ (i.e., has a robust
Standard Template Library (STL)) development context.

>   sprintf((char*)wVar,"%u",tmp);
> Compiles and doesn't crash at runtime, but I'm getting a zero value which
> isn't right.  Setting the value staticly, like sprintf((char*)wVar,"2")
> gives me a zero value too.

This does the exact opposite of what you need.  You'd want to try sscanf()
instead, but remember that these functions, like atoi(), are considered
"legacy" in a modern C++ context.
