+\section{\class{wxStringBuffer}}\label{wxstringbuffer}
+
+This tiny class allows to conveniently access the \helpref{wxString}{wxstring}
+internal buffer as a writable pointer without any risk of forgetting to restore
+the string to the usable state later.
+
+For example, assuming you have a low-level OS function called
+{\tt GetMeaningOfLifeAsString(char *)} returning the value in the provided
+buffer (which must be writable, of course) you might call it like this:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ wxString theAnswer;
+ GetMeaningOfLifeAsString(wxStringBuffer(theAnswer, 1024));
+ if ( theAnswer != "42" )
+ {
+ wxLogError("Something is very wrong!");
+ }
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Note that the exact usage of this depends on whether on not wxUSE\_STL is enabled. If
+wxUSE\_STL is enabled, wxStringBuffer creates a seperate empty character buffer, and
+if wxUSE\_STL is disabled, it uses GetWriteBuf() from wxString, keeping the same buffer
+wxString uses intact. In other words, relying on wxStringBuffer containing the old
+wxString data is probably not a good idea if you want to build your program in both
+with and without wxUSE\_STL.

+\membersection{wxStringBuffer::wxStringBuffer}\label{wxstringbufferctor}
+
+\func{}{wxStringBuffer}{\param{const wxString\& }{str}, \param{size\_t }{len}}
+
+Constructs a writable string buffer object associated with the given string
+and containing enough space for at least {\it len} characters. Basically, this
+is equivalent to calling \helpref{GetWriteBuf}{wxstringgetwritebuf} and
+saving the result.
+
+\membersection{wxStringBuffer::\destruct{wxStringBuffer}}\label{wxstringbufferdtor}
+
+\func{}{\destruct{wxStringBuffer}}{\void}
+
+Restores the string passed to the constructor to the usable state by calling
+\helpref{UngetWriteBuf}{wxstringungetwritebuf} on it.
+
+\membersection{wxStringBuffer::operator wxChar *}\label{wxstringbufferwxchar}
+
+\func{wxChar *}{operator wxChar *}{\void}
+
+Returns the writable pointer to a buffer of the size at least equal to the
+length specified in the constructor.
+
+
+
+\section{\class{wxStringBufferLength}}\label{wxstringbufferlength}
+
+This tiny class allows to conveniently access the \helpref{wxString}{wxstring}
+internal buffer as a writable pointer without any risk of forgetting to restore
+the string to the usable state later, and allows the user to set the internal
+length of the string.
+
+For example, assuming you have a low-level OS function called
+{\tt int GetMeaningOfLifeAsString(char *)} copying the value in the provided
+buffer (which must be writable, of course), and returning the actual length
+of the string, you might call it like this:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ wxString theAnswer;
+ wxStringBuffer theAnswerBuffer(theAnswer, 1024);
+ int nLength = GetMeaningOfLifeAsString(theAnswerBuffer);
+ theAnswerBuffer.SetLength(nLength);
+ if ( theAnswer != "42" )
+ {
+ wxLogError("Something is very wrong!");
+ }
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Note that the exact usage of this depends on whether on not wxUSE\_STL is enabled. If
+wxUSE\_STL is enabled, wxStringBuffer creates a seperate empty character buffer, and
+if wxUSE\_STL is disabled, it uses GetWriteBuf() from wxString, keeping the same buffer
+wxString uses intact. In other words, relying on wxStringBuffer containing the old
+wxString data is probably not a good idea if you want to build your program in both
+with and without wxUSE\_STL.
+
+Note that SetLength {\tt must} be called before wxStringBufferLength destructs.
