GetAsChar(self, c)

Returns True if the character is representable as a single byte in the current locale encoding.

This function only returns True if the character can be converted in exactly one byte, e.g. it only returns True for 7 bit ASCII characters when the encoding used is UTF-8.

It is mostly useful to test if the character can be passed to functions taking a int and is used by wxWidgets itself for this purpose.

Parameters

c (int) – An output pointer to the value of this Unicode character as a char . Must be not None.

Return type

bool

Returns

True if the object is an 8 bit int and c was filled with its value as int or False otherwise (c won’t be modified then).

New in version 2.9.1.
