Case sensitivity problem in wxGenericDirCtrl sample

[troelsk]

The dirctrl page in the widgets sample unexpectedly emits "Selected standard path and path from control do not match!" when you click one of the radio buttons. It seems that IsSameAs() treats backslash as escape. I know no good fix for this. But, in the sample, this workaround helps

if(!m_dirCtrl->GetPath().IsSameAs(path))

->

if(0 != _tcsicmp(m_dirCtrl->GetPath(), path))

This seems quite incredible. Could you please modify StringTestCase::Compare() in tests/strings/strings.cpp to test for this?

Right, nothing to do with backslash, just upper/lower case drive letter confusion, wxMSW. Patch added.

Uff, I was worried there for a moment.

I'll apply it but this sample is really strange, it should at least check for the directory existence before selecting it.

(In [72820]) Compare file paths using wxFileName, not wxString, in the sample.

Comparing paths using wxString is a bad idea as identical paths can be seen as
mismatching because of case-only differences.

Also, don't reset wxRadioBox selection from its selection handler, this
doesn't work under e.g. wxGTK and is a bad example.
