13 | This class represents a background log window: to be precise, it collects all |
14 | log messages in the log frame which it manages but also passes them on to the | |
15 | log target which was active at the moment of its creation. This allows, for | |
16 | example, to show all the log messages in a frame but still continue to process | |
17 | them normally by showing the standard log dialog. | |

86 | A special version of wxLogChain which uses itself as the |
87 | new log target. It forwards log messages to the previously installed one in | |
88 | addition to | |
89 | processing them itself. Unlike wxLogInterposer, it doesn't | |

91 | output. | |
7c913512 | 92 | |

93 | As per wxLogInterposer, this class must be derived from to implement |

401 | The functions below allow some limited customization of wxLog behaviour | |
402 | without writing a new log target class (which, aside of being a matter of | |
403 | several minutes, allows you to do anything you want). | |
23324ae1 | 404 | The verbose messages are the trace messages which are not disabled in the |
e54c96f1 | 405 | release mode and are generated by wxLogVerbose(). They |
23324ae1 FM |
406 | are not normally shown to the user because they present little interest, but |
407 | may be activated, for example, in order to help the user find some program | |
408 | problem. | |
23324ae1 FM |
409 | As for the (real) trace messages, their handling depends on the settings of |
410 | the (application global) @e trace mask. There are two ways to specify it: | |
411 | either by using SetTraceMask() and | |
412 | GetTraceMask() and using | |
e54c96f1 | 413 | wxLogTrace() which takes an integer mask or by using |
23324ae1 | 414 | AddTraceMask() for string trace masks. |
23324ae1 FM |
415 | The difference between bit-wise and string trace masks is that a message using |
416 | integer trace mask will only be logged if all bits of the mask are set in the | |
417 | current mask while a message using string mask will be logged simply if the | |
418 | mask had been added before to the list of allowed ones. | |
23324ae1 | 419 | For example, |
4cc4bfaf | 420 | |
23324ae1 FM |
421 | will do something only if the current trace mask contains both |
422 | @c wxTraceRefCount and @c wxTraceOle, but | |
4cc4bfaf | 423 | |
23324ae1 | 424 | will log the message if it was preceded by |
4cc4bfaf | 425 | |
23324ae1 FM |
426 | Using string masks is simpler and allows to easily add custom ones, so this is |
427 | the preferred way of working with trace messages. The integer trace mask is | |
428 | kept for compatibility and for additional (but very rarely needed) flexibility | |
429 | only. | |
e54c96f1 | 430 | The standard trace masks are given in wxLogTrace() |
23324ae1 | 431 | documentation. |
23324ae1 FM |
432 | Finally, the @e wxLog::DoLog() function automatically prepends a time stamp |
433 | to all the messages. The format of the time stamp may be changed: it can be | |
434 | any string with % specifications fully described in the documentation of the | |
435 | standard @e strftime() function. For example, the default format is | |
436 | "[%d/%b/%y %H:%M:%S] " which gives something like "[17/Sep/98 22:10:16] " | |
437 | (without quotes) for the current date. Setting an empty string as the time | |
438 | format disables timestamping of the messages completely. | |
23324ae1 FM |
439 | @b NB: Timestamping is disabled for Visual C++ users in debug builds by |
440 | default because otherwise it would be impossible to directly go to the line | |
441 | from which the log message was generated by simply clicking in the debugger | |
442 | window on the corresponding error message. If you wish to enable it, please use | |
443 | SetTimestamp() explicitly. | |
23324ae1 FM |

833 | As @b wxLogDebug, trace functions only do something in debug build and | |
834 | expand to nothing in the release one. The reason for making | |
835 | it a separate function from it is that usually there are a lot of trace | |
836 | messages, so it might make sense to separate them from other debug messages. | |
837 | The trace messages also usually can be separated into different categories and | |
838 | the second and third versions of this function only log the message if the | |
839 | @a mask which it has is currently enabled in wxLog. This | |
840 | allows to selectively trace only some operations and not others by changing | |
841 | the value of the trace mask (possible during the run-time). | |
842 | For the second function (taking a string mask), the message is logged only if | |
843 | the mask has been previously enabled by the call to | |
844 | wxLog::AddTraceMask or by setting | |
845 | @ref overview_envvars "@c WXTRACE environment variable". | |
846 | The predefined string trace masks | |
847 | used by wxWidgets are: | |
848 | wxTRACE_MemAlloc: trace memory allocation (new/delete) | |
849 | wxTRACE_Messages: trace window messages/X callbacks | |
850 | wxTRACE_ResAlloc: trace GDI resource allocation | |
851 | wxTRACE_RefCount: trace various ref counting operations | |
852 | wxTRACE_OleCalls: trace OLE method calls (Win32 only) | |
853 | @b Caveats: since both the mask and the format string are strings, | |
854 | this might lead to function signature confusion in some cases: | |
855 | if you intend to call the format string only version of wxLogTrace, | |
856 | then add a %s format string parameter and then supply a second string parameter | |
857 | for that %s, the string mask version of wxLogTrace will erroneously get called instead, since you are supplying two string parameters to the function. | |
858 | In this case you'll unfortunately have to avoid having two leading | |
859 | string parameters, e.g. by adding a bogus integer (with its %d format string). | |
860 | The third version of the function only logs the message if all the bits | |
861 | corresponding to the @a mask are set in the wxLog trace mask which can be | |
862 | set by wxLog::SetTraceMask. This version is less | |
863 | flexible than the previous one because it doesn't allow defining the user | |
864 | trace masks easily - this is why it is deprecated in favour of using string | |
865 | trace masks. | |
866 | wxTraceMemAlloc: trace memory allocation (new/delete) | |
867 | wxTraceMessages: trace window messages/X callbacks | |
868 | wxTraceResAlloc: trace GDI resource allocation | |
869 | wxTraceRefCount: trace various ref counting operations | |
