Both Unicode and ANSI.

Ok, I guess for Unicode build I don't need the first step?

Is the following the right way to do it:


wxString current2utf8(const wxString& src)
{
     #if wxUSE_UNICODE
         return wxConvUTF8.cWC2MB(src);
     #else
         return wxConvUTF8.cWC2MB(wxConvCurrent->cMB2WC(src));
     #endif
}
