-\constfunc{bool}{ToLong}{\param{long}{ *val}, \param{int }{base = 0}}
+\constfunc{bool}{ToLong}{\param{long}{ *val}, \param{int }{base = $10$}}
Attempts to convert the string to a signed integer in base {\it base}. Returns
{\tt TRUE} on success in which case the number is stored in the location
pointed to by {\it val} or {\tt FALSE} if the string does not represent a
valid number in the given base.
-The default value of {\it base} $0$ is special and means that the usual rules
-of {\tt C} numbers are applied: if the number starts with {\tt 0x} it is
-considered to be in base $16$, if it starts with {\tt 0} - in base $8$ and in
-base $10$ otherwise.
+The value of {\it base} must be comprised between $2$ and $36$, inclusive, or
+be a special value $0$ which means that the usual rules of {\tt C} numbers are
+applied: if the number starts with {\tt 0x} it is considered to be in base
+$16$, if it starts with {\tt 0} - in base $8$ and in base $10$ otherwise. Note
+that you may not want to specify the base $0$ if you are parsing the numbers
+which may have leading zeroes as they can yield unexpected (to the user not
+familiar with C) results.

-\constfunc{bool}{ToULong}{\param{unsigned long}{ *val}, \param{int }{base = 0}}
+\constfunc{bool}{ToULong}{\param{unsigned long}{ *val}, \param{int }{base = $10$}}
Attempts to convert the string to a ansigned integer in base {\it base}.
Returns {\tt TRUE} on success in which case the number is stored in the
location pointed to by {\it val} or {\tt FALSE} if the string does not
represent a valid number in the given base.
-The default value of {\it base} $0$ is special and means that the usual rules

-considered to be in base $16$, if it starts with {\tt 0} - in base $8$ and in
-base $10$ otherwise.
+See \helpref{wxString::ToLong}{wxstringtolong} for the more detailed
+description of the {\it base} parameter.
