Hi,

this only works if you are really using ASCII (no characters above 127) 
and no locale based conversion is applied.
(see 
http://www.wxwidgets.org/manuals/stable/wx_wxstring.html#wxstringfromascii )
To do this assignment with locale based conversion use something like:
centerx=wxString(tempx,wxConvCurrent);
(see 
http://www.wxwidgets.org/manuals/stable/wx_mbconvclasses.html#wxmbconvobjects 
)
The question is, why aren't you staying in wxWidgets space and use 
wxTextFile instead of CTextFile.
This way you wouldn't have to worry about string format conversions.

Also be careful with the line
cfile.InitializeWith((char *)file.mb_str( wxConvUTF8 ));
Are you sure that every Operating System running your software saves its 
filenames in UTF8?
Probably the conversion should be file.mb_str( wxConvFileName );
