[wxlua-users] wxEncodingConverter and wxMBConv are neccessary for some applications

[Z.H. <zo...@ye...>]

Hi all, wxLua reference manual says the following classes are unavailable:

wxCSConv 	                X 	  	Lua uses ANSI 8-bit strings 
wxEncodingConverter 	X 	  	Lua uses ANSI 8-bit strings 
wxMBConv 	                X 	  	Lua uses ANSI 8-bit strings
wxMBConvFile 	        X 	  	Lua uses ANSI 8-bit strings
wxMBConvUTF16 	        X 	  	Lua uses ANSI 8-bit strings
wxMBConvUTF32 	        X 	  	Lua uses ANSI 8-bit strings
wxMBConvUTF7 	        X 	  	Lua uses ANSI 8-bit strings
wxMBConvUTF8 	        X 	  	Lua uses ANSI 8-bit strings

As far as I know, wxLua unicode build will treat all lua strings as utf-8 strings when converting them from/to wxString's.
It works fine in most situations. But some applications need to read and write files with other encodings
(see for example the post by Victor Bombi :  http://sourceforge.net/p/wxlua/mailman/message/33546327/ ).
In this case, wxEncodingConverter and wxMBConv are neccessary.

Is it possible for wxLua to implement the above classes?
