Yes, that is what I will use to convert from UTF-8 to wide char, but 
then i need to store the widechar strings in some string class and do 
some processing, this is what i am looking for.

So what I am intending to do is to convert from utf-8 encoded  ANSI wx 
strings to widechar using wxConvUTF8 and store the resulting strings in 
std::wstring.

Thank you for the fast response.
