I made the example with a simple Visual Studio project.
I have created and run the executable in Debug mode and it works fine.

Created a standard wxString , I can print it correctly with any method, but the size of wxStringCharType is always 2 bytes.

Under OS Linux, the same example (but I have to create wxString with the method ) is printed correctly with the classic method and the size of wxStringCharType is 1 byte.

FWIW, I was able to produce a MSW UTF-8 build and successfully launch a simple program using it: (one can display this dialog by <Ctrl>+<Alt>+<MiddleClick> in an area not occupied by a child control).



I used nmake, had to modify WXWIN/build/msw/config.vc where I changed the line to I also used the define in the MSVS project properties in preprocessor symbols.

If you do not mind AlSith, I will ask about how to do this officially in wx-users mailing list.

Ok.. no problem... explain to me how I can help you and I will

Just make sure to make a clean rebuild of the library once you change the make config. I would also strongly recommend setting the same define in your project.

I will just ask there, no help from you required, but thanks anyway. ;)

TBH, I am still not sure that you really want an UTF-8 build, for the reasons I described in my very first post in this thread...

Great.. it works..!!

I asked in wx-users about this, lets see what the answer is (probably only once holidays are over):
