In this case it is not really make sense - still have only-one-codepage limitation. LuaCom module uses another approach - it converts all strings from UTF-8 to Windows wide-char and back on the fly. >From http://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/overview_unicode.html >> Since wxWidgets 3.0 Unicode support is always enabled wxWidget 3.0 gives to developer a full freedom to use any encoding: - codepage (when passing char*) - wide char (when passing wchar_t*) - UTF-8 (when using FromUTF8(char*) ) What are you planning for this part? I would advocate UTF-8 string encoding for Lua binding. Disadvantages: - Yes, it will have some performance penalty on Windows, but I don't see how to use wide chars from Lua anyway. Advantages: - Sources will be portable - Support ANY national characters - No performance penalty on Linux - UTF-8 is internal string representation Regards Alexander Altshuler -----Original Message----- From: John Labenski [mailto:jlaben...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 25, 2009 4:25 PM To: wxlua-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [wxlua-users] wxWidget 3.0 etc On Tue, Aug 25, 2009 at 5:36 AM, Alexander Altshuler<a...@kaluga.ru> wrote: > > I have two questions both related Unicode support in wxLua: > > 1. Are current Windows binaries compiled with Unicode support? No, because Lua only uses ASCII C strings, but you can build it with wxWidgets unicode support and the strings will be converted as they're passed between Lua and wxWidgets. I'm not sure that you get any advantage by building wxWidgets in unicode mode, but you do get a performance penalty doing the translation. > 2. Are there any plans to support wxWidget 3.0? Yes, but the binding generator should be completely rewritten to take advantage of the interface files that they use to generate the docs. This will make it easier to follow changes in wxWidgets in the future. I have to immediate plans to do this, but it will be done. http://svn.wxwidgets.org/viewvc/wx/wxWidgets/trunk/interface/wx/ Regards, John ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
