6ac7ddd3 27 program sources (it was previously required if you wanted to support Unicode).

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

41 Basically this macro produces characters or strings of type wxStringCharType.
42
fde96a2f

43 The use of this macro is optional as the translation will always be done at
44 run-time even if there is a mismatch between the kind of the literal used
45 and the string or character type used in the current build.
46 However using it can be beneficial in <b>performance-sensitive code</b> to
47 do the conversion at compile-time instead.

56 This macro is exactly the same as wxT() and is defined in wxWidgets simply
57 because it may be more intuitive for Windows programmers as the standard
58 Win32 headers also define it (as well as yet another name for the same
59 macro which is _TEXT()).
60
61 Don't confuse this macro with _()!

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