12 | \section{\class{wxLog}}\label{wxlog} |
13 | ||
14 | wxLog class defines the interface for the {\it log targets} used by wxWindows | |
15 | logging functions as explained in the \helpref{wxLog overview}{wxlogoverview}. | |
16 | The only situations when you need to directly use this class is when you want | |
17 | to derive your own log target because the existing ones don't satisfy your | |
18 | needs. Another case is if you wish to customize the behaviour of the standard | |
19 | logging classes (all of which respect the wxLog settings): for example, set | |
20 | which trace messages are logged and which are not or change (or even remove | |
21 | completely) the timestamp on the messages. | |
22 | ||
23 | Otherwise, it is completely hidden behind the {\it wxLogXXX()} functions and | |
24 | you may not even know about its existence. | |
25 | ||
26 | See \helpref{log overview}{wxlogoverview} for the descriptions of wxWindows | |
27 | logging facilities. | |

41 | The functions in this section work with and manipulate the active log target. | |
4a20e756 VZ |
42 | The \helpref{OnLog()}{wxlogonlog} is called by the {\it wxLogXXX()} functions |
43 | and invokes the \helpref{DoLog()}{wxlogdolog} of the active log target if any. | |
44 | Get/Set methods are used to install/query the current active target and, | |
45 | finally, \helpref{DontCreateOnDemand()}{wxlogdontcreateondemand} disables the | |
46 | automatic creation of a standard log target if none actually exists. It is | |
47 | only useful when the application is terminating and shouldn't be used in other | |
48 | situations because it may easily lead to a loss of messages. | |

57 | \membersection{Logging functions} |
58 | ||
59 | There are two functions which must be implemented by any derived class to | |
60 | actually process the log messages: \helpref{DoLog}{wxlogdolog} and | |
61 | \helpref{DoLogString}{wxlogdologstring}. The second function receives a string | |
62 | which just has to be output in some way and the easiest way to write a new log | |
63 | target is to override just this function in the derived class. If more control | |
64 | over the output format is needed, then the first function must be overridden | |
65 | which allows to construct custom messages depending on the log level or even | |
66 | do completely different things depending on the message severity (for example, | |
67 | throw away all messages except warnings and errors, show warnings on the | |
68 | screen and forward the error messages to the user's (or programmer's) cell | |
69 | phone - maybe depending on whether the timestamp tells us if it is day or | |
70 | night in the current time zone). | |
71 | ||
72 | There also functions to support message buffering. Why are they needed? | |
73 | Some of wxLog implementations, most notably the standard wxLogGui class, | |
74 | buffer the messages (for example, to avoid showing the user a zillion of modal | |
75 | message boxes one after another - which would be really annoying). | |
76 | \helpref{Flush()}{wxlogflush} shows them all and clears the buffer contents. | |
77 | Although this function doesn't do anything if the buffer is already empty, | |
78 | \helpref{HasPendingMessages()}{wxloghaspendingmessages} is also provided which | |
79 | allows to explicitly verify it. | |

9ee2d31c VZ |
86 | |
87 | The functions below allow some limited customization of wxLog behaviour | |
88 | without writing a new log target class (which, aside of being a matter of | |
89 | several minutes, allows you to do anything you want). | |
90 | ||
91 | The verbose messages are the trace messages which are not disabled in the | |
fe482327 SB |
92 | release mode and are generated by \helpref{wxLogVerbose}{wxlogverbose}. They |
93 | are not normally shown to the user because they present little interest, but | |
94 | may be activated, for example, in order to help the user find some program | |
95 | problem. | |
9ee2d31c | 96 | |
ac7f0167 VZ |
97 | As for the (real) trace messages, their handling depends on the settings of |
98 | the (application global) {\it trace mask}. There are two ways to specify it: | |
fe482327 | 99 | either by using \helpref{SetTraceMask}{wxlogsettracemask} and |
ac7f0167 VZ |
100 | \helpref{GetTraceMask}{wxloggettracemask} and using |
101 | \helpref{wxLogTrace}{wxlogtrace} which takes an integer mask or by using | |
102 | \helpref{AddTraceMask}{wxlogaddtracemask} for string trace masks. | |
103 | ||
104 | The difference between bit-wise and string trace masks is that a message using | |
105 | integer trace mask will only be logged if all bits of the mask are set in the | |
106 | current mask while a message using string mask will be logged simply if the | |
107 | mask had been added before to the list of allowed ones. | |
108 | ||
109 | For example, | |
fa482912 | 110 | |
ac7f0167 VZ |
111 | \begin{verbatim} |
112 | // wxTraceOleCalls is one of standard bit masks | |
113 | wxLogTrace(wxTraceRefCount | wxTraceOleCalls, "Active object ref count: %d", nRef); | |
114 | \end{verbatim} | |
115 | will do something only if the current trace mask contains both | |
116 | {\tt wxTraceRefCount} and {\tt wxTraceOle}, but | |
fa482912 | 117 | |
ac7f0167 VZ |
118 | \begin{verbatim} |
119 | // wxTRACE_OleCalls is one of standard string masks | |
fe482327 | 120 | wxLogTrace(wxTRACE_OleCalls, "IFoo::Bar() called"); |
ac7f0167 | 121 | \end{verbatim} |
fa482912 | 122 | |
ac7f0167 | 123 | will log the message if it was preceded by |
fa482912 | 124 | |
9ee2d31c | 125 | \begin{verbatim} |
ac7f0167 | 126 | wxLog::AddTraceMask(wxTRACE_OleCalls); |
9ee2d31c | 127 | \end{verbatim} |
ac7f0167 VZ |
128 | |
129 | Using string masks is simpler and allows to easily add custom ones, so this is | |
130 | the preferred way of working with trace messages. The integer trace mask is | |
131 | kept for compatibility and for additional (but very rarely needed) flexibility | |
132 | only. | |
133 | ||
134 | The standard trace masks are given in \helpref{wxLogTrace}{wxlogtrace} | |
135 | documentation. | |
9ee2d31c VZ |
136 | |
137 | Finally, the {\it wxLog::DoLog()} function automatically prepends a time stamp | |
138 | to all the messages. The format of the time stamp may be changed: it can be | |
2edb0bde | 139 | any string with \% specifications fully described in the documentation of the |
9ee2d31c VZ |
140 | standard {\it strftime()} function. For example, the default format is |
141 | "[\%d/\%b/\%y \%H:\%M:\%S] " which gives something like "[17/Sep/98 22:10:16] " | |
142 | (without quotes) for the current date. Setting an empty string as the time | |
143 | format disables timestamping of the messages completely. | |
144 | ||
ac7f0167 VZ |
145 | {\bf NB:} Timestamping is disabled for Visual C++ users in debug builds by |
146 | default because otherwise it would be impossible to directly go to the line | |
147 | from which the log message was generated by simply clicking in the debugger | |
148 | window on the corresponding error message. If you wish to enable it, please use | |
149 | \helpref{SetTimestamp}{wxlogsettimestamp} explicitly. | |

209 | \func{static void}{Suspend}{\void} | |
210 | ||
211 | Suspends the logging until \helpref{Resume}{wxlogresume} is called. Note that | |
212 | the latter must be called the same number of times as the former to undo it, | |
213 | i.e. if you call Suspend() twice you must call Resume() twice as well. | |
214 | ||
215 | Note that suspending the logging means that the log sink won't be be flushed | |
216 | periodically, it doesn't have any effect if the current log target does the | |
217 | logging immediately without waiting for \helpref{Flush}{wxlogflush} to be | |
218 | called (the standard GUI log target only shows the log dialog when it is | |
219 | flushed, so Suspend() works as expected with it). | |

229 | ||
230 | Resumes logging previously suspended by a call to | |

236 | \func{virtual void}{DoLog}{\param{wxLogLevel }{level}, \param{const wxChar }{*msg}, \param{time\_t }{timestamp}} | |
237 | ||
238 | Called to process the message of the specified severity. {\it msg} is the text | |
239 | of the message as specified in the call of {\it wxLogXXX()} function which | |
240 | generated it and {\it timestamp} is the moment when the message was generated. | |
241 | ||
242 | The base class version prepends the timestamp to the message, adds a prefix | |
243 | corresponding to the log level and then calls | |
244 | \helpref{DoLogString}{wxlogdologstring} with the resulting string. | |
245 | ||
246 | \membersection{wxLog::DoLogString}\label{wxlogdologstring} | |
247 | ||
248 | \func{virtual void}{DoLogString}{\param{const wxChar }{*msg}, \param{time\_t }{timestamp}} | |
249 | ||
250 | Called to log the specified string. The timestamp is already included into the | |
251 | string but still passed to this function. | |
252 | ||
253 | A simple implementation may just send the string to {\tt stdout} or, better, | |
254 | {\tt stderr}. | |

259 | ||
260 | Instructs wxLog to not create new log targets on the fly if there is none | |
36bd6902 VZ |
261 | currently. (Almost) for internal use only: it is supposed to be called by the |

4a20e756 | 293 | \func{static void}{SetVerbose}{\param{bool }{ verbose = TRUE}} |
9ee2d31c | 294 | |
2edb0bde | 295 | Activates or deactivates verbose mode in which the verbose messages are |

308 | Sets the timestamp format prepended by the default log targets to all | |
309 | messages. The string may contain any normal characters as well as \% | |

352 | \section{\class{wxLogChain}}\label{wxlogchain} | |
353 | ||
354 | This simple class allows to chain log sinks, that is to install a new sink but | |
355 | keep passing log messages to the old one instead of replacing it completely as | |
356 | \helpref{SetActiveTarget}{wxlogsetactivetarget} does. | |
357 | ||
358 | It is especially useful when you want to divert the logs somewhere (for | |
359 | example to a file or a log window) but also keep showing the error messages | |
5638d705 | 360 | using the standard dialogs as \helpref{wxLogGui}{wxlogoverview} does by default. |

417 | Calling this function with {\tt FALSE} parameter disables this behaviour | |
418 | (presumably temporarily, as you shouldn't use wxLogChain at all otherwise) and | |
419 | it can be reenabled by calling it again with {\it passMessages} set to {\tt | |
420 | TRUE}. | |

427 | in the \helpref{constructor}{wxlogchainwxlogchain} or in a previous call to | |
428 | this function is deleted. | |
429 | ||
430 | This doesn't change the old log target value (the one the messages are | |
431 | forwarded to) which still remains the same as was active when wxLogChain | |
432 | object was created. | |

459 | ||
460 | \section{\class{wxLogNull}}\label{wxlognull} | |
461 | ||
462 | This class allows to temporarily suspend logging. All calls to the log | |
463 | functions during the life time of an object of this class are just ignored. | |
464 | ||
465 | In particular, it can be used to suppress the log messages given by wxWindows | |
466 | itself but it should be noted that it is rarely the best way to cope with this | |
467 | problem as {\bf all} log messages are suppressed, even if they indicate a | |
468 | completely different error than the one the programmer wanted to suppress. | |
469 | ||
470 | For instance, the example of the overview: | |
471 | ||
472 | {\small | |
473 | \begin{verbatim} | |
474 | wxFile file; | |
475 | ||
476 | // wxFile.Open() normally complains if file can't be opened, we don't want it | |
477 | { | |
478 | wxLogNull logNo; | |
479 | if ( !file.Open("bar") ) | |
480 | ... process error ourselves ... | |
481 | } // ~wxLogNull called, old log sink restored | |
482 | ||
483 | wxLogMessage("..."); // ok | |
484 | \end{verbatim} | |
485 | } | |
486 | ||
487 | would be better written as: | |
488 | ||
489 | {\small | |
490 | \begin{verbatim} | |
491 | wxFile file; | |
492 | ||
493 | // don't try to open file if it doesn't exist, we are prepared to deal with | |
494 | // this ourselves - but all other errors are not expected | |
495 | if ( wxFile::Exists("bar") ) | |
496 | { | |
497 | // gives an error message if the file couldn't be opened | |
498 | file.Open("bar"); | |
499 | } | |
500 | else | |

529 | \section{\class{wxLogPassThrough}}\label{wxlogpassthrough} | |
530 | ||
531 | A special version of \helpref{wxLogChain}{wxlogchain} which uses itself as the | |
532 | new log target. Maybe more clearly, it means that this is a log target which | |
533 | forwards the log messages to the previously installed one in addition to | |
534 | processing them itself. | |
535 | ||
536 | Unlike \helpref{wxLogChain}{wxlogchain} which is usually used directly as is, | |
537 | this class must be derived from to implement \helpref{DoLog}{wxlogdolog} | |
538 | and/or \helpref{DoLogString}{wxlogdologstring} methods. | |

558 | This class can be used to redirect the log messages to a C file stream (not to | |
