This class is capable of converting strings between two
8-bit encodings/charsets. It can also convert from/to Unicode (but only
-if you compiled wxWidgets with wxUSE\_WCHAR\_T set to 1). Only limited subset

-\func{static bool}{CanConvert}{\param{wxFontEncoding}{encIn}, \param{wxFontEncoding }{encOut}}
+\func{static bool}{CanConvert}{\param{wxFontEncoding }{encIn}, \param{wxFontEncoding }{encOut}}
Return true if (any text in) multibyte encoding \arg{encIn} can be converted to
-another one ({\it{encOut}}) losslessly.

Do not call this method with \texttt{wxFONTENCODING\_UNICODE} as either
parameter, it doesn't make sense (always works in one sense and always depends

Convert input string according to settings passed to

same memory area.
+All of the versions above return \true if the conversion was lossless and
+\false if at least one of the characters couldn't be converted and was replaced
+with {\tt '?'} in the output. Note that if {\tt wxCONVERT\_SUBSTITUTE} was
+passed to \helpref{Init}{wxencodingconverterinit}, substitution is considered
+lossless operation.

\constfunc{wxString}{Convert}{\param{const wxString\& }{input}}
Convert wxString and return new wxString object.
