Hello eveyone!
A simple question again but it is still hard to me.Try to print a welcome msg to console,using both wxPuts and wxPrintf to print an unicode string,say Chinese characters just faied.Nothing printed:
wxWidget2.9.1 Unicode build under Windows XP:
#include <wx/wx.h>
void main()
{
wxPuts(wxT("欢迎来到中国！"));
wxPrintf(wxT("欢迎来到中国！"));
wxGetchar();
}
Could anybody figure me out what is the right way to print Chinese characters to console in wx?Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Sam

Have you tried
Code: Select all
wxString msg(wxT("欢迎来到中国！"));
std::cout << msg.mb_str() << std::endl;
this?
On linux, it works fine (Ubuntu -Jaunty, g++-4.4.0).
Sorry, i have no windows to try.

Thank you so much for your help.
The above code works.
But I am curious now isn't there such an equivalent method in wxWidgets?One has no other choice to do such task except importing std namespace?

I hope i understand you correctly... The msg.mb_str() is a wxWidgets function..
I recommend to read this wiki page, it helped me a lot.

No it isn't. The only way is to use cout from the c++ standard library.
But it is c++ integrated, and you can use it from everywhere by using std:: so I don't know where is the problem.

I do know no problem using std in general.I rememberd in the wx Doc or somewhere I read that import stl should be avoided since it will largely delay the compiling time and increase the code size(Please correct me if I am completely wrong),this is why I have such a question.I mixed stl and std in mind at that moment.Sorry for such a mess!
