Hi,

I read in the "Changes since 2.8" online doc that I can directly use wchar_t for Unicode but the version mentioned is 3.0. Is this supported in 2.9.4? Can I additionally use the newer extended character types of C++11? If not then when will the newer extended character types be incorporated into the library?

Thanks,
-Asif

This "changes" document describes the changes between 2.8 and 2.9 too, so
yes, everything written there applies to 2.9.4. OTOH I don't really know
what do you mean by "can directly use wchar_t" as this is something you
always could do and didn't change in 2.9.

When somebody is motivated enough to do it... Right now it's not on the
horizon.

I've changed to use wchart_t- on 2.9.4 to make one application compatible with another library.

I added CPPFLAGS = /Zc:wchar_t- on config.vc (included by makefile.vc). On this kind of changes are faster than updating every project on the Visual Studio solution.

Hi Vadim,

Is there a wxWidgets' Unicode sample somewhere on the Internet? I couldn't find any in the standard samples that come bundled with the  wxWidgets tar.bz2 file.

I'd be thankful if you could give me links to Unicode examples and additional wxWidgets documentation on the same.

Best regards,
-Asif

There is no particular "Unicode sample", what exactly would it demonstrate
anyhow? And the documentation is there, in the manual, right in the topics
list at http://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/page_topics.html

Was it really difficult to find?

Well, I somehow couldn't see it! :)

Thank you,
