bug with wxVariant

[Sebastien Senechal]

thxs for your reply

1. If char is interpreted as part of a string why does it return 0? 
is this the first character of a long casted into string? in which case 
GeString should have same behavior... counter-intuitive behavior.


2. wxVariant 'SHOULD be a container for converting objects!!!

to fastest way for me to conver an int was to do wxVariant(str).GetLong(). am 
i wrong?

Also in language as C#, 'object' is a type encpasulating most types, and is 
very poerwful and convenient... Ass i am working with genereric types,  this 
is a must.

3. wxVariant shouldn't exist or should be rewritten if that is not the 
purpose.
wxVariant should be a void* ... casted however possible and encapsulate all 
basic wxtypes i.e. ToChar, ToInt32, ToInt64, etc...

i need to implement it anyway, since this is a minivariant version as i think 
most people would want a more flexible object-like clas... wxVariant should 
be the name of such a class...
