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.

-\constfunc{wxWritableCharBuffer}{char\_str}{\void}
+\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
This is a wxWidgets 1.xx compatibility function; you should not use it in new code.
+\membersection{wxString::From8BitData}\label{wxstringfrom8bitdata}
+
+\func{static wxString }{From8BitData}{\param{const char*}{ buf}, \param{size\_t}{len}}
+
+\func{static wxString }{From8BitData}{\param{const char*}{ buf}}
+
+Converts given buffer of binary data from 8-bit string to wxString. In Unicode
+build, the string is interpreted as being in ISO-8859-1 encoding. The version
+without \arg{len} parameter takes NUL-terminated data.
+
+This is a convenience method useful when storing binary data in wxString.

+\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::FromUTF8}\label{wxstringfromutf8}
+
+\func{static wxString }{FromUTF8}{\param{const char*}{ s}}
+
+\func{static wxString }{FromUTF8}{\param{const char*}{ s}, \param{size\_t}{ len}}
+
+Converts C string encoded in UTF-8 to wxString.
+
+Note that this method assumes that \arg{s} is a valid UTF-8 sequence and
+doesn't do any validation in release builds, it's validity is only checked in
+debug builds.

\membersection{wxString::GetChar}\label{wxstringgetchar}
\constfunc{wxChar}{GetChar}{\param{size\_t}{ n}}
\membersection{wxString::mb\_str}\label{wxstringmbstr}

+\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
instead (but note that parameters have different meaning).
+\membersection{wxString::To8BitData}\label{wxstringto8bitdata}
+
+\constfunc{const char*}{To8BitData}{\void}
+
+Converts the string to an 8-bit string (ANSI builds only).
+
+\constfunc{const wxCharBuffer}{To8BitData}{\void}
+
+Converts the string to an 8-bit string in ISO-8859-1 encoding in the form of
+a wxCharBuffer (Unicode builds only).
+
+This is a convenience method useful when storing binary data in wxString.

Converts the string to an ASCII, 7-bit string in the form of
-a wxCharBuffer (Unicode builds only).
+a wxCharBuffer (Unicode builds only) or a C string (ANSI builds).
Note that this conversion only works if the string contains only ASCII
characters. The \helpref{mb\_str}{wxstringmbstr} method provides more

\membersection{wxString::Trim}\label{wxstringtrim}
\func{wxString\&}{Trim}{\param{bool}{ fromRight = true}}
This is a wxWidgets 1.xx compatibility function; you should not use it in new code.

+
+\constfunc{const char*}{utf8\_str}{\void}
+
+\constfunc{const wxCharBuffer}{utf8\_str}{\void}

+wxCharBuffer object or as a pointer to the internal string contents in
+UTF-8 build.

\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
