Inheritance diagram for wxEncodingConverter:

Detailed Description

This class is capable of converting strings between two 8-bit encodings/charsets.

It can also convert from/to Unicode.

Only a limited subset of encodings is supported by wxEncodingConverter: wxFONTENCODING_ISO8859_1..15, wxFONTENCODING_CP1250..1257 and wxFONTENCODING_KOI8.

Note: Please use wxMBConv classes instead if possible. wxCSConv has much better support for various encodings than wxEncodingConverter. wxEncodingConverter is useful only if you rely on wxCONVERT_SUBSTITUTE mode of operation (see wxEncodingConverter::Init()).

Library: wxBase

Category: Text Conversion

static bool wxEncodingConverter::CanConvert	(	wxFontEncoding	encIn,
		wxFontEncoding	encOut
	)

static

Return true if (any text in) multibyte encoding encIn can be converted to another one (encOut) losslessly.

Do not call this method with wxFONTENCODING_UNICODE as either parameter, it doesn't make sense (always works in one sense and always depends on the text to convert in the other).

bool wxEncodingConverter::Convert	(	const char *	input,
		char *	output
	)		const

Convert input string according to settings passed to Init() and writes the result to output.

All the Convert() function overloads return true if the conversion was lossless and false if at least one of the characters couldn't be converted was and replaced with '?' in the output.

Note that if wxCONVERT_SUBSTITUTE was passed to Init(), substitution is considered a lossless operation.

Note: You must call Init() before using this method!

bool wxEncodingConverter::Convert	(	const wchar_t *	input,
		wchar_t *	output
	)		const

Convert input string according to settings passed to Init() and writes the result to output.

All the Convert() function overloads return true if the conversion was lossless and false if at least one of the characters couldn't be converted was and replaced with '?' in the output.

Note that if wxCONVERT_SUBSTITUTE was passed to Init(), substitution is considered a lossless operation.

Note: You must call Init() before using this method!

bool wxEncodingConverter::Convert	(	const char *	input,
		wchar_t *	output
	)		const

Convert input string according to settings passed to Init() and writes the result to output.

All the Convert() function overloads return true if the conversion was lossless and false if at least one of the characters couldn't be converted was and replaced with '?' in the output.

Note that if wxCONVERT_SUBSTITUTE was passed to Init(), substitution is considered a lossless operation.

Note: You must call Init() before using this method!

bool wxEncodingConverter::Convert	(	const wchar_t *	input,
		char *	output
	)		const

Convert input string according to settings passed to Init() and writes the result to output.

All the Convert() function overloads return true if the conversion was lossless and false if at least one of the characters couldn't be converted was and replaced with '?' in the output.

Note that if wxCONVERT_SUBSTITUTE was passed to Init(), substitution is considered a lossless operation.

Note: You must call Init() before using this method!

bool wxEncodingConverter::Convert ( char * str ) const

Convert input string according to settings passed to Init() in-place.

With this overload, the conversion result is written to the same memory area from which the input is read.

See the Convert(const char*,char*) const overload for more info.

bool wxEncodingConverter::Convert ( wchar_t * str ) const

Convert input string according to settings passed to Init() in-place.

With this overload, the conversion result is written to the same memory area from which the input is read.

See the Convert(const wchar_t*,wchar_t*) const overload for more info.

wxString wxEncodingConverter::Convert ( const wxString & input ) const

Convert a wxString and return a new wxString object.

See the Convert(const char*,char*) const overload for more info.

static wxFontEncodingArray wxEncodingConverter::GetAllEquivalents ( wxFontEncoding enc )

static

Similar to GetPlatformEquivalents(), but this one will return ALL equivalent encodings, regardless of the platform, and including itself.

This platform's encodings are before others in the array. And again, if enc is in the array, it is the very first item in it.

static wxFontEncodingArray wxEncodingConverter::GetPlatformEquivalents	(	wxFontEncoding	enc,
		int	platform = `wxPLATFORM_CURRENT`
	)

static

Return equivalents for given font that are used under given platform.

Supported platforms:

wxPLATFORM_UNIX
wxPLATFORM_WINDOWS
wxPLATFORM_MAC
wxPLATFORM_CURRENT

wxPLATFORM_CURRENT means the platform this binary was compiled for.

Examples:

current platform   enc          returned value
----------------------------------------------
unix            CP1250             {ISO8859_2}
unix         ISO8859_2             {ISO8859_2}
windows      ISO8859_2                {CP1250}
unix            CP1252  {ISO8859_1,ISO8859_15}

Equivalence is defined in terms of convertibility: two encodings are equivalent if you can convert text between then without losing information (it may - and will - happen that you lose special chars like quotation marks or em-dashes but you shouldn't lose any diacritics and language-specific characters when converting between equivalent encodings).

Remember that this function does NOT check for presence of fonts in system. It only tells you what are most suitable encodings. (It usually returns only one encoding.)

Note: Note that argument enc itself may be present in the returned array, so that you can, as a side-effect, detect whether the encoding is native for this platform or not.; Convert() is not limited to converting between equivalent encodings, it can convert between two arbitrary encodings.; If enc is present in the returned array, then it is always the first item of it.; Please note that the returned array may contain no items at all.

bool wxEncodingConverter::Init	(	wxFontEncoding	input_enc,
		wxFontEncoding	output_enc,
		int	method = `wxCONVERT_STRICT`
	)

Initialize the conversion.

Both output or input encoding may be wxFONTENCODING_UNICODE, but only if wxUSE_ENCODING is set to 1.

All subsequent calls to Convert() will interpret its argument as a string in input_enc encoding and will output string in output_enc encoding.

You must call this method before calling Convert. You may call it more than once in order to switch to another conversion.

method affects behaviour of Convert() in case input character cannot be converted because it does not exist in output encoding:

wxCONVERT_STRICT: follow behaviour of GNU Recode - just copy unconvertible characters to output and don't change them (its integer value will stay the same)
wxCONVERT_SUBSTITUTE: try some (lossy) substitutions - e.g. replace unconvertible latin capitals with acute by ordinary capitals, replace en-dash or em-dash by '-' etc.

Both modes guarantee that output string will have same length as input string.

Returns: false if given conversion is impossible, true otherwise (conversion may be impossible either if you try to convert to Unicode with non-Unicode build of wxWidgets or if input or output encoding is not supported).
