invalid conversion from 'wxTextCtrl*' to 'wxChar

ostar2 (118)
I am trying to create a GUI tool for a program using wxwidgets but have run into problems and am completely confused. It says that I am converting between wxTextCtrl* and wxChar. Any help would be much appreciated.

Any ways, heres the code:

The error message is clear enough. So do not disturb the forum and check the code where you are trying to assign wxTextCtrl* to wxChar. Or you have not enough brain that to understand that these two types are different?!!!

I understand there different but I cannot figure out to fix the problem.
And that code is here:

void BlobToolGUIFrame::OnButton2Click(wxCommandEvent& event)
{
    wxString n = ("blobpack.exe ");
    n = n + header + (".HEADER ") + name + (" LNX ") + boot + (".img ") + (" SOS ") + recovery + (".img");
    wxExecute(n.c_str());

}

void BlobToolGUIFrame::OnButton1Click(wxCommandEvent& event)
{
    wxString m = ("blobunpack.exe ");
    m = m + name;
    wxExecute(m.c_str());
}
