在 wxWidgets 应用程序中导航文件夹

Question

I need to navigate between folders in my wx app. I was using the std::filesystem::path, which was pretty handy. Using overloaded operators like + and \ was very good and practical, but the constant conversion to std::string and wxString was verbose.

So, is there a way to do something similar in wxWidgets? In my app, I was using a wxString like that:

wxString path = SomeOtherWxStringPath + "\\\\" + "image.png";

but this doesn't seem right. What do you suggest, as my application would be deployed in Windows and Linux.

Answer 1

My recommendation would be to use std::fs and either utf8_string() or ToStdWstring() for simple conversion from wxString to std::[w]string respectively (the conversion in the other direction is implicit by default).

But there is also wxFileName in wxWidgets if you really want to use it.
