The following constructors allow you to construct wxString from a wide string
in ANSI build or from a C string in Unicode build.
-\func{}{wxString}{\param{const wchar\_t*}{ psz}, \param{wxMBConv\&}{ conv}, \param{size\_t}{ nLength = wxSTRING\_MAXLEN}}
+\func{}{wxString}{\param{const wchar\_t*}{ psz}, \param{const wxMBConv\&}{ conv}, \param{size\_t}{ nLength = wxSTRING\_MAXLEN}}
Initializes the string from first \arg{nLength} characters of wide string.
The default value of {\tt wxSTRING\_MAXLEN} means take all the string.
\helpref{WC2MB}{wxmbconvwc2mb} method is called to
convert \arg{psz} to wide string. It is ignored in Unicode build.
-\func{}{wxString}{\param{const char*}{ psz}, \param{wxMBConv\&}{ conv = wxConvLibc}, \param{size\_t}{ nLength = wxSTRING\_MAXLEN}}
+\func{}{wxString}{\param{const char*}{ psz}, \param{const wxMBConv\&}{ conv = wxConvLibc}, \param{size\_t}{ nLength = wxSTRING\_MAXLEN}}
Initializes the string from first \arg{nLength} characters of C string.
The default value of {\tt wxSTRING\_MAXLEN} means take all the string.
\membersection{wxString::char\_str}\label{wxstringcharstr}
-\constfunc{wxWritableCharBuffer}{char\_str}{\param{wxMBConv\&}{ conv = wxConvLibc}}
+\constfunc{wxWritableCharBuffer}{char\_str}{\param{const wxMBConv\&}{ conv = wxConvLibc}}
Returns an object with string data that is implicitly convertible to
{\tt char*} pointer. Note that any change to the returned buffer is lost and so
\func{static wxString }{FromAscii}{\param{const char*}{ s}}
+\func{static wxString }{FromAscii}{\param{const char*}{ s}, \param{size\_t}{ len}}
+
\func{static wxString }{FromAscii}{\param{const char}{ c}}
Converts the string or character from an ASCII, 7-bit form
\membersection{wxString::mb\_str}\label{wxstringmbstr}
-\constfunc{const char*}{mb\_str}{\param{wxMBConv\&}{ conv = wxConvLibc}}
+\constfunc{const char*}{mb\_str}{\param{const wxMBConv\&}{ conv = wxConvLibc}}
-\constfunc{const wxCharBuffer}{mb\_str}{\param{wxMBConv\&}{ conv = wxConvLibc}}
+\constfunc{const wxCharBuffer}{mb\_str}{\param{const wxMBConv\&}{ conv = wxConvLibc}}
Returns multibyte (C string) representation of the string.
In Unicode build, converts using \arg{conv}'s \helpref{cWC2MB}{wxmbconvcwc2mb}
\membersection{wxString::StartsWith}\label{wxstringstartswith}
-\constfunc{bool}{StartsWith}{\param{const wxChar }{*prefix}, \param{wxString }{*rest = NULL}}
+\constfunc{bool}{StartsWith}{\param{const wxString\& }{prefix}, \param{wxString }{*rest = NULL}}
This function can be used to test if the string starts with the specified
{\it prefix}. If it does, the function will return \true and put the rest
\membersection{wxString::EndsWith}\label{wxstringendswith}
-\constfunc{bool}{EndsWith}{\param{const wxChar }{*suffix}, \param{wxString }{*rest = NULL}}
+\constfunc{bool}{EndsWith}{\param{const wxString\& }{suffix}, \param{wxString }{*rest = NULL}}
This function can be used to test if the string ends with the specified
{\it suffix}. If it does, the function will return \true and put the
\membersection{wxString::wc\_str}\label{wxstringwcstr}
-\constfunc{const wchar\_t*}{wc\_str}{\param{wxMBConv\&}{ conv}}
+\constfunc{const wchar\_t*}{wc\_str}{\param{const wxMBConv\&}{ conv}}
-\constfunc{const wxWCharBuffer}{wc\_str}{\param{wxMBConv\&}{ conv}}
+\constfunc{const wxWCharBuffer}{wc\_str}{\param{const wxMBConv\&}{ conv}}
Returns wide character representation of the string.
In ANSI build, converts using \arg{conv}'s \helpref{cMB2WC}{wxmbconvcmb2wc}
\constfunc{wxWritableWCharBuffer}{wchar\_str}{\void}
Returns an object with string data that is implicitly convertible to
-{\tt char*} pointer. Note that any change to the returned buffer is lost and so
-this function is only usable for passing strings to legacy libraries that
-don't have const-correct API. Use \helpref{wxStringBuffer}{wxstringbuffer} if
-you want to modify the string.
