-Attempts to convert the string to a signed integer. Returns TRUE on success
-(the number is stored in the location pointed to by {\it val}) or FALSE if the
-string does not represent such number.
+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 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.

+\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 to forget 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}

+\membersection{wxStringBuffer::wxStringBuffer}
+
+\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. Basicly, this
+is equivalent to calling \helpref{GetWriteBuf}{wxstringgetwritebuf} and
+saving the result.
+
+\membersection{wxStringBuffer::\destruct{wxStringBuffer}}
+
+\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 *}
+
+\constfunc{wxChar *}{operator wxChar *}{\void}
+
+Returns the writable pointer to a buffer of the size at least equal to the
+length specified in the constructor.
