35 Compatibility macro which expands to wxT() in wxWidgets 2 only.
36
c3b8a196
VZ
37 This macro can be used in code which needs to compile with both
38 wxWidgets 2 and 3 versions, in places where the wx2 API requires a Unicode string
39 (in Unicode build) but the wx3 API only accepts a standard narrow
40 string, as in e.g. wxCmdLineEntryDesc structure objects initializers.
9204fde6
VZ
41
42 Example of use:
43 @code
44 const wxCmdLineEntryDesc cmdLineDesc[] =
45 {
46 { wxCMD_LINE_SWITCH, wxT_2("q"), wxT_2("quiet"),
47 wxT_2("Don't output verbose messages") },
48 wxCMD_LINE_DESC_END
49 };
50 @endcode
51

VZ
52 Without @c wxT_2 the code above wouldn't compile with wxWidgets 2, but using @c
53 wxT instead, it wouldn't compile with wxWidgets 3.

64 wxS is a macro which can be used with character and string literals (in other words,
65 @c 'x' or @c "foo") to convert them either to wide characters or wide strings
66 in @c wchar_t-based (UTF-16) builds, or to keep them unchanged in @c char-based
fde96a2f 67 (UTF-8) builds.

69 Basically this macro produces characters or strings of type wxStringCharType.
70
fde96a2f
FM
71 The use of this macro is optional as the translation will always be done at
72 run-time even if there is a mismatch between the kind of the literal used
73 and the string or character type used in the current build.
74 However using it can be beneficial in <b>performance-sensitive code</b> to
75 do the conversion at compile-time instead.

83/**
84 This macro is exactly the same as wxT() and is defined in wxWidgets simply
85 because it may be more intuitive for Windows programmers as the standard
86 Win32 headers also define it (as well as yet another name for the same
87 macro which is _TEXT()).
88
89 Don't confuse this macro with _()!

91 Note that since wxWidgets 2.9.0 the use of _T() is discouraged just like
92 for wxT() and also that this macro may conflict with identifiers defined in
93 standard headers of some compilers (such as Sun CC) so its use should
94 really be avoided.
