Inheritance diagram for wxConvAuto:This class implements a Unicode to/from multibyte converter capable of automatically recognizing the encoding of the multibyte text on input.
The logic used is very simple: the class uses the BOM (byte order mark) if it's present and tries to interpret the input as UTF-8 otherwise. If this fails, the input is interpreted as being in the default multibyte encoding which can be specified in the constructor of a wxConvAuto instance and, in turn, defaults to the value of GetFallbackEncoding() if not explicitly given.
For the conversion from Unicode to multibyte, the same encoding as was previously used for multibyte to Unicode conversion is reused. If there had been no previous multibyte to Unicode conversion, UTF-8 is used by default. Notice that once the multibyte encoding is automatically detected, it doesn't change any more, i.e. it is entirely determined by the first use of wxConvAuto object in the multibyte-to-Unicode direction. However creating a copy of wxConvAuto object, either via the usual copy constructor or assignment operator, or using wxMBConv::Clone(), resets the automatically detected encoding so that the new copy will try to detect the encoding of the input on first use.
This class is used by default in wxWidgets classes and functions reading text from files such as wxFile, wxFFile, wxTextFile, wxFileConfig and various stream classes so the encoding set with its SetFallbackEncoding() method will affect how these classes treat input files. In particular, use this method to change the fall-back multibyte encoding used to interpret the contents of the files whose contents isn't valid UTF-8 or to disallow it completely.

| static void | DisableFallbackEncoding () |
| Disable the use of the fall back encoding: if the input doesn't have a BOM and is not valid UTF-8, the conversion will fail. | |

| wxConvAuto::wxConvAuto | ( | wxFontEncoding | enc = wxFONTENCODING_DEFAULT | ) |
Constructs a new wxConvAuto instance.
The object will try to detect the input of the multibyte text given to its wxMBConv::ToWChar() method automatically but if the automatic detection of Unicode encodings fails, the fall-back encoding enc will be used to interpret it as multibyte text.
The default value of enc, wxFONTENCODING_DEFAULT, means that the global default value (which can be set using SetFallbackEncoding()) should be used. As with that method, passing wxFONTENCODING_MAX inhibits using this encoding completely so the input multibyte text will always be interpreted as UTF-8 in the absence of BOM and the conversion will fail if the input doesn't form valid UTF-8 sequence.
Another special value is wxFONTENCODING_SYSTEM which means to use the encoding currently used on the user system, i.e. the encoding returned by wxLocale::GetSystemEncoding(). Any other encoding will be used as is, e.g. passing wxFONTENCODING_ISO8859_1 ensures that non-UTF-8 input will be treated as latin1.
| static wxBOM wxConvAuto::DetectBOM | ( | const char * | src, |
| size_t | srcLen | ||
| ) | [static] |
Return the BOM type of this buffer.
This is a helper function which is normally only used internally by wxConvAuto but provided for convenience of the code that wants to detect the encoding of a stream by checking it for BOM presence on its own.
| static void wxConvAuto::DisableFallbackEncoding | ( | ) | [static] |
Disable the use of the fall back encoding: if the input doesn't have a BOM and is not valid UTF-8, the conversion will fail.
| wxBOM wxConvAuto::GetBOM | ( | ) | const |
Return the detected BOM type.
The BOM type is detected after sufficiently many initial bytes have passed through this conversion object so it will always return wxBOM_Unknown immediately after the object creation but may return a different value later.
| const char* wxConvAuto::GetBOMChars | ( | wxBOM | bom, |
| size_t * | count | ||
| ) |
Return a pointer to the characters that makes up this BOM.
The returned character count is 2, 3 or 4, or undefined if the return value is NULL.
| bom | A valid BOM type, i.e. not wxBOM_Unknown or wxBOM_None. |
| count | A non-NULL pointer receiving the number of characters in this BOM. |
| static wxFontEncoding wxConvAuto::GetFallbackEncoding | ( | ) | [static] |
Returns the encoding used by default by wxConvAuto if no other encoding is explicitly specified in constructor.
By default, returns wxFONTENCODING_ISO8859_1 but can be changed using SetFallbackEncoding().
| static void wxConvAuto::SetFallbackEncoding | ( | wxFontEncoding | enc | ) | [static] |
Changes the encoding used by default by wxConvAuto if no other encoding is explicitly specified in constructor.
The default value, which can be retrieved using GetFallbackEncoding(), is wxFONTENCODING_ISO8859_1.
Special values of wxFONTENCODING_SYSTEM or wxFONTENCODING_MAX can be used for the enc parameter to use the encoding of the current user locale as fall back or not use any encoding for fall back at all, respectively (just as with the similar constructor parameter). However, wxFONTENCODING_DEFAULT can't be used here.
