6\section{\class{wxMBConv}}\label{wxmbconv}
7
8This class is the base class of a hierarchy of classes capable of converting
9text strings between multibyte (SBCS or DBCS) encodings and Unicode. It is itself
10a wrapper around the standard libc mbstowcs() and wcstombs() routines, and has
11one predefined instance, {\bf wxConvLibc}.

31

33
34Constructor.

36\membersection{wxMBConv::MB2WC}\label{wxmbconvmb2wc}
37
38\constfunc{virtual size\_t}{MB2WC}{\param{wchar\_t *}{outputBuf}, \param{const char *}{psz}, \param{size\_t }{outputSize}}
39
40Converts from a string {\it psz} in multibyte encoding to Unicode putting the
41output into the buffer {\it outputBuf} of the maximum size {\it outputSize} (in wide
42characters, not bytes). If {\it outputBuf} is {\tt NULL}, only the length of the
43string which would result from the conversion is calculated and returned.
44Note that this is the length and not size, i.e. the returned value does
45{\bf not} include the trailing NUL. But when the function is called with a
46non-{\tt NULL} {\it outputBuf}, the {\it outputSize} parameter should be the size of the buffer
47and so it {\bf should} take into account the trailing NUL.
48
49\wxheading{Parameters}
50
51\docparam{outputBuf}{the output buffer, may be {\tt NULL} if the caller is only
52interested in the length of the resulting string}
53
54\docparam{psz}{the {\tt NUL}-terminated input string, cannot be {\tt NULL}}
55
56\docparam{outputSize}{the size of the output buffer (in wide characters, {\bf including} the
57NUL) , ignored if {\it outputBuf} is {\tt NULL}}
58
59\wxheading{Return value}
60
61The length of the converted string (in wide characters, {\bf excluding} the NUL)

64
65\constfunc{virtual size\_t}{WC2MB}{\param{char* }{buf}, \param{const wchar\_t* }{psz}, \param{size\_t }{n}}
66
67Converts from Unicode to multibyte encoding. The semantics of this function
68(including the return value meaning) is the same as for
69\helpref{MB2WC}{wxmbconvmb2wc}.
70
71Notice that when the function is called with a non-{\tt NULL} buffer, the
72{\it n} parameter should be the size of the buffer and so it {\bf should} take
73into account the trailing NUL, which might take two or four bytes for some
74encodings (UTF-16 and UTF-32).
75
76\membersection{wxMBConv::cMB2WC}\label{wxmbconvcmb2wc}
77
78\constfunc{const wxWCharBuffer}{cMB2WC}{\param{const char* }{psz}}
79
80Converts from multibyte encoding to Unicode by calling MB2WC,
81allocating a temporary wxWCharBuffer to hold the result.
82
83\membersection{wxMBConv::cWC2MB}\label{wxmbconvcwc2mb}
84
85\constfunc{const wxCharBuffer}{cWC2MB}{\param{const wchar\_t* }{psz}}
86
87Converts from Unicode to multibyte encoding by calling WC2MB,
88allocating a temporary wxCharBuffer to hold the result.
89

91
92\constfunc{const char*}{cMB2WX}{\param{const char* }{psz}}
93
94\constfunc{const wxWCharBuffer}{cMB2WX}{\param{const char* }{psz}}
95
96Converts from multibyte encoding to the current wxChar type
97(which depends on whether wxUSE\_UNICODE is set to 1). If wxChar is char,
98it returns the parameter unaltered. If wxChar is wchar\_t, it returns the
99result in a wxWCharBuffer. The macro wxMB2WXbuf is defined as the correct
100return type (without const).

104\constfunc{const char*}{cWX2MB}{\param{const wxChar* }{psz}}
105
106\constfunc{const wxCharBuffer}{cWX2MB}{\param{const wxChar* }{psz}}
107
108Converts from the current wxChar type to multibyte encoding. If wxChar is char,
109it returns the parameter unaltered. If wxChar is wchar\_t, it returns the
110result in a wxCharBuffer. The macro wxWX2MBbuf is defined as the correct
111return type (without const).

116
117\constfunc{const wxCharBuffer}{cWC2WX}{\param{const wchar\_t* }{psz}}
118
119Converts from Unicode to the current wxChar type. If wxChar is wchar\_t,
120it returns the parameter unaltered. If wxChar is char, it returns the
121result in a wxCharBuffer. The macro wxWC2WXbuf is defined as the correct
122return type (without const).

127
128\constfunc{const wxWCharBuffer}{cWX2WC}{\param{const wxChar* }{psz}}
129
130Converts from the current wxChar type to Unicode. If wxChar is wchar\_t,
131it returns the parameter unaltered. If wxChar is char, it returns the
132result in a wxWCharBuffer. The macro wxWX2WCbuf is defined as the correct
133return type (without const).
