ps. I've added a wxString stub to wxLua. All there is a constructor to
create a wxString from a lua string and the function GetData() to
return it back to a lua string.
wxString(lua string)
luastr = wxstr:GetData()
You still won't be able to convert the tolua++ wxString userdata to
wxLua's wxString unless you figure out how to do this yourself.

Thanks.

wxLua uses only lua strings, to save space, easier calls to wxWidgets
functions, and whatnot. It would be very easy to wrap wxStrings
however, but there's a lot of functions and it might be too much
bloat. We use the two functions wx2lua and lua2wx, see the top of
modules/wxlua/include/wxlstate.h.
You can also just use wxLua's binding generator instead of tolua++.
It's really easy to create the interface files and run the generator.
Take a look at bindings/wxstc for an example of how to write the rules
file for a smaller semi-separate library. See also the docs about our
binding generator.

No, see above, we don't have any wxStrings and the conversion of the
userdata in lua might be tricky.
