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

31
32 \func{}{wxMBConv}{\void}
33
34 Constructor.
35
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
40 Converts from a string {\it psz} in multibyte encoding to Unicode putting the
41 output into the buffer {\it outputBuf} of the maximum size {\it outputSize} (in wide
42 characters, not bytes). If {\it outputBuf} is {\tt NULL}, only the length of the
43 string which would result from the conversion is calculated and returned.
44 Note 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
46 non-{\tt NULL} {\it outputBuf}, the {\it outputSize} parameter should be the size of the buffer
47 and 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
52 interested 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
57 NUL) , ignored if {\it outputBuf} is {\tt NULL}}
58
59 \wxheading{Return value}
60
61 The length of the converted string (in wide characters, {\bf excluding} the NUL)
62
63 \membersection{wxMBConv::WC2MB}\label{wxmbconvwc2mb}
64
65 \constfunc{virtual size\_t}{WC2MB}{\param{char* }{buf}, \param{const wchar\_t* }{psz}, \param{size\_t }{n}}
66
67 Converts 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
71 Notice 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
73 into account the trailing NUL, which might take two or four bytes for some
74 encodings (UTF-16 and UTF-32).
75
76 \membersection{wxMBConv::cMB2WC}\label{wxmbconvcmb2wc}
77
78 \constfunc{const wxWCharBuffer}{cMB2WC}{\param{const char* }{psz}}
79
80 Converts from multibyte encoding to Unicode by calling MB2WC,
81 allocating 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
87 Converts from Unicode to multibyte encoding by calling WC2MB,
88 allocating a temporary wxCharBuffer to hold the result.
89
90 \membersection{wxMBConv::cMB2WX}\label{wxmbconvcmb2wx}
91
92 \constfunc{const char*}{cMB2WX}{\param{const char* }{psz}}
93
94 \constfunc{const wxWCharBuffer}{cMB2WX}{\param{const char* }{psz}}
95
96 Converts from multibyte encoding to the current wxChar type
97 (which depends on whether wxUSE\_UNICODE is set to 1). If wxChar is char,
98 it returns the parameter unaltered. If wxChar is wchar\_t, it returns the
99 result in a wxWCharBuffer. The macro wxMB2WXbuf is defined as the correct
100 return type (without const).
101
102 \membersection{wxMBConv::cWX2MB}\label{wxmbconvcwx2mb}
103
104 \constfunc{const char*}{cWX2MB}{\param{const wxChar* }{psz}}
105
106 \constfunc{const wxCharBuffer}{cWX2MB}{\param{const wxChar* }{psz}}
107
108 Converts from the current wxChar type to multibyte encoding. If wxChar is char,
109 it returns the parameter unaltered. If wxChar is wchar\_t, it returns the
110 result in a wxCharBuffer. The macro wxWX2MBbuf is defined as the correct
111 return type (without const).
112
113 \membersection{wxMBConv::cWC2WX}\label{wxmbconvcwc2wx}
114
115 \constfunc{const wchar\_t*}{cWC2WX}{\param{const wchar\_t* }{psz}}
116
117 \constfunc{const wxCharBuffer}{cWC2WX}{\param{const wchar\_t* }{psz}}
118
119 Converts from Unicode to the current wxChar type. If wxChar is wchar\_t,
120 it returns the parameter unaltered. If wxChar is char, it returns the
121 result in a wxCharBuffer. The macro wxWC2WXbuf is defined as the correct
122 return type (without const).
123
124 \membersection{wxMBConv::cWX2WC}\label{wxmbconvcwx2wc}
125
126 \constfunc{const wchar\_t*}{cWX2WC}{\param{const wxChar* }{psz}}
127
128 \constfunc{const wxWCharBuffer}{cWX2WC}{\param{const wxChar* }{psz}}
129
130 Converts from the current wxChar type to Unicode. If wxChar is wchar\_t,
131 it returns the parameter unaltered. If wxChar is char, it returns the
132 result in a wxWCharBuffer. The macro wxWX2WCbuf is defined as the correct
133 return type (without const).
