Re: [wxlua-users] wxString::ToAscii

[Victor B. <so...@te...>]

Where I say UNICODE it should be whatever internal widebyte encoding the 
system and wxWidgets is using
as noted in

http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html

the problem is converting from ANSI to UNICODE

wxLua unicode build converts as if the string were UTF8 to UNICODE:  return 
wxString(luastr, wxConvUTF8);
it works from code 1 to 127 (ASCii) but fails on 128-255 which are not valid 
UTF
0 is discarded in lua2wx :if (luastr == NULL) return wxEmptyString; // check 
for NULL
which is a problem for lua strings with embeded ceros

using AddTextRaw uses the string as an already UNICODE string so 1-255 are 
visible althought 128-255 dont show ANSI caracters
So would be ideal to having a function for converting from ANSI to UTF or 
UTF to ANSI (it depends on the ANSI codepage)
as in http://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/overview_mbconv.html example 1
(or may be ANSI to UNICODE and UNICODE to ANSI)
