Objects:
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}{\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}{ c}}
+\func{static wxString }{FromAscii}{\param{const unsigned char*}{ s}}
+
+\func{static wxString }{FromAscii}{\param{const char*}{ s}, \param{size\_t}{ len}}
+
+\func{static wxString }{FromAscii}{\param{const unsigned char*}{ s}, \param{size\_t}{ len}}
+
+\func{static wxString }{FromAscii}{\param{char}{ c}}
Converts the string or character from an ASCII, 7-bit form
to the native wxString representation. Most useful when using
\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}
\constfunc{bool}{ToDouble}{\param{double}{ *val}}
Attempts to convert the string to a floating point number. 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.
+success (the number is stored in the location pointed to by \arg{val}) or \false
+if the string does not represent such number (the value of \arg{val} is not
+modified in this case).

Attempts to convert the string to a signed integer in base {\it base}. Returns
\true on success in which case the number is stored in the location

-valid number in the given base.

+valid number in the given base (the value of \arg{val} is not modified
+in this case).
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

+represent a valid number in the given base (the value of \arg{val} is not
+modified in this case). Please notice that this function
behaves in the same way as the standard \texttt{strtoul()} and so it simply
converts negative numbers to unsigned representation instead of rejecting them
(e.g. $-1$ is returned as \texttt{ULONG\_MAX}).
\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.
