+The wxMBConv classes in wxWidgets enable an Unicode-aware application to
easily convert between Unicode and the variety of 8-bit encoding systems still
in use.

As programs are becoming more and more globalized, and users exchange documents
across country boundaries as never before, applications increasingly need to
8-bit multibyte encoding (UTF-7 or UTF-8 is typically used for this purpose), to
pass unhindered through any traditional transport channels.
-\subsection{Background: The wxString class}
+\subsection{Background: The wxString class}\label{conversionandwxstring}
If you have compiled wxWidgets in Unicode mode, the wxChar type will become
identical to wchar\_t rather than char, and a wxString stores wxChars. Hence,
But often, your environment doesn't want Unicode strings. You could be sending
data over a network, or processing a text file for some other application. You
need a way to quickly convert your easily-handled Unicode data to and from a

The base class for all these conversions is the wxMBConv class (which itself
implements standard libc locale conversion). Derived classes include
for your own custom encoding and use it, should you need it. All you need to do
is override the MB2WC and WC2MB methods.
-\subsection{wxMBConv objects}
+\subsection{wxMBConv objects}\label{wxmbconvobjects}
Several of the wxWidgets-provided wxMBConv classes have predefined instances
-(wxConvLibc, wxConvFile, wxConvUTF7, wxConvUTF8, wxConvLocal). You can use
+(wxConvLibc, wxConvFileName, wxConvUTF7, wxConvUTF8, wxConvLocal). You can use
these predefined objects directly, or you can instantiate your own objects.
A variable, wxConvCurrent, points to the conversion object that the user
Unicode-based (like with GTK+ 1.2). By default, it points to wxConvLibc or
wxConvLocal, depending on which works best on the current platform.
-\subsection{wxCSConv}
+\subsection{wxCSConv}\label{wxcsconvclass}
The wxCSConv class is special because when it is instantiated, you can tell it
which character set it should use, which makes it meaningful to keep many
default user character set, but you should rarely need to use it directly,
it is better to go through wxConvCurrent.
-\subsection{Converting strings}
+\subsection{Converting strings}\label{convertingstrings}
Once you have chosen which object you want to use to convert your text,
here is how you would use them with wxString. These examples all assume
of the conversion, you need to explicitly cast it to const char* if you use
it in a vararg context (like with printf).

If you have specialized needs, or just don't want to use wxString, you
can also use the conversion methods of the conversion objects directly.
