83e056ab
VZ
75 wxLogFormatter class is used to format the log messages. It implements the
76 default formatting and can be derived from to create custom formatters.
432bd6b1 77
83e056ab
VZ
78 The default implementation formats the message into a string containing
79 the time stamp, level-dependent prefix and the message itself.
80
81 To change it, you can derive from it and override its Format() method. For
82 example, to include the thread id in the log messages you can use
83 @code
84 class LogFormatterWithThread : public wxLogFormatter
85 {
86 virtual wxString Format(wxLogLevel level,
87 const wxString& msg,
88 const wxLogRecordInfo& info) const
89 {
90 return wxString::Format("[%d] %s(%d) : %s",
91 info.threadId, info.filename, info.line, msg);
92 }
93 };
94 @endcode
95 And then associate it with wxLog instance using its SetFormatter(). Then,
96 if you call:
97
98 @code
99 wxLogMessage(_("*** Application started ***"));
100 @endcode
101
102 the log output could be something like:
103
104 @verbatim
105 [7872] d:\testApp\src\testApp.cpp(85) : *** Application started ***
106 @endverbatim

973
974 An object of this class is used by default to show the log messages created
975 by using wxLogMessage(), wxLogError() and other logging functions. It
976 doesn't display the messages logged by them immediately however but
977 accumulates all messages logged during an event handler execution and then
978 shows them all at once when its Flush() method is called during the idle
979 time processing. This has the important advantage of showing only a single
980 dialog to the user even if several messages were logged because of a single
981 error as it often happens (e.g. a low level function could log a message
982 because it failed to open a file resulting in its caller logging another
983 message due to the failure of higher level operation requiring the use of
984 this file). If you need to force the display of all previously logged
985 messages immediately you can use wxLog::FlushActive() to force the dialog
986 display.
987
988 Also notice that if an error message is logged when several informative
989 messages had been already logged before, the informative messages are
990 discarded on the assumption that they are not useful -- and may be
991 confusing and hence harmful -- any more after the error. The warning
992 and error messages are never discarded however and any informational
993 messages logged after the first error one are also kept (as they may
994 contain information about the error recovery). You may override DoLog()
995 method to change this behaviour.
4ffdb640 996
83e056ab
VZ
997 At any rate, it is possible that that several messages were accumulated
998 before this class Flush() method is called. If this is the case, Flush()
999 uses a custom dialog which shows the last message directly and allows the
1000 user to view the previously logged ones by expanding the "Details"
1001 wxCollapsiblePane inside it. This custom dialog also provides the buttons
1002 for copying the log messages to the clipboard and saving them to a file.
4ffdb640 1003
83e056ab
VZ
1004 However if only a single message is present when Flush() is called, just a
1005 wxMessageBox() is used to show it. This has the advantage of being closer
1006 to the native behaviour but it doesn't give the user any possibility to
1007 copy or save the message (except for the recent Windows versions where @c
1008 Ctrl-C may be pressed in the message box to copy its contents to the
1009 clipboard) so you may want to override DoShowSingleLogMessage() to
1010 customize wxLogGui -- the dialogs sample shows how to do this.
