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.

40
41 The functions in this section work with and manipulate the active log target.
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 This function doesn't do anything if the buffer is already empty.
78
79 \helpref{Flush}{wxlogflush}\\
80 \helpref{FlushActive}{wxlogflushactive}
81
82 \membersection{Customization}\label{wxlogcustomization}
83
84 The functions below allow some limited customization of wxLog behaviour
85 without writing a new log target class (which, aside of being a matter of
86 several minutes, allows you to do anything you want).
87
88 The verbose messages are the trace messages which are not disabled in the
89 release mode and are generated by \helpref{wxLogVerbose}{wxlogverbose}. They
90 are not normally shown to the user because they present little interest, but
91 may be activated, for example, in order to help the user find some program
92 problem.
93
94 As for the (real) trace messages, their handling depends on the settings of
95 the (application global) {\it trace mask}. There are two ways to specify it:
96 either by using \helpref{SetTraceMask}{wxlogsettracemask} and
97 \helpref{GetTraceMask}{wxloggettracemask} and using
98 \helpref{wxLogTrace}{wxlogtrace} which takes an integer mask or by using
99 \helpref{AddTraceMask}{wxlogaddtracemask} for string trace masks.
100
101 The difference between bit-wise and string trace masks is that a message using
102 integer trace mask will only be logged if all bits of the mask are set in the
103 current mask while a message using string mask will be logged simply if the
104 mask had been added before to the list of allowed ones.
105
106 For example,
107
108 \begin{verbatim}
109 // wxTraceOleCalls is one of standard bit masks
110 wxLogTrace(wxTraceRefCount | wxTraceOleCalls, "Active object ref count: %d", nRef);
111 \end{verbatim}
112 will do something only if the current trace mask contains both
113 {\tt wxTraceRefCount} and {\tt wxTraceOle}, but
114
115 \begin{verbatim}
116 // wxTRACE_OleCalls is one of standard string masks
117 wxLogTrace(wxTRACE_OleCalls, "IFoo::Bar() called");
118 \end{verbatim}
119
120 will log the message if it was preceded by
121
122 \begin{verbatim}
123 wxLog::AddTraceMask(wxTRACE_OleCalls);
124 \end{verbatim}
125
126 Using string masks is simpler and allows to easily add custom ones, so this is
127 the preferred way of working with trace messages. The integer trace mask is
128 kept for compatibility and for additional (but very rarely needed) flexibility
129 only.
130
131 The standard trace masks are given in \helpref{wxLogTrace}{wxlogtrace}
132 documentation.
133
134 Finally, the {\it wxLog::DoLog()} function automatically prepends a time stamp
135 to all the messages. The format of the time stamp may be changed: it can be
136 any string with \% specifications fully described in the documentation of the
137 standard {\it strftime()} function. For example, the default format is
138 "[\%d/\%b/\%y \%H:\%M:\%S] " which gives something like "[17/Sep/98 22:10:16] "
139 (without quotes) for the current date. Setting an empty string as the time
140 format disables timestamping of the messages completely.
141
142 {\bf NB:} Timestamping is disabled for Visual C++ users in debug builds by
143 default because otherwise it would be impossible to directly go to the line
144 from which the log message was generated by simply clicking in the debugger
145 window on the corresponding error message. If you wish to enable it, please use
146 \helpref{SetTimestamp}{wxlogsettimestamp} explicitly.

198
199 \func{static void}{OnLog}{\param{wxLogLevel }{ level}, \param{const char * }{ message}}
200
201 Forwards the message at specified level to the {\it DoLog()} function of the
202 active log target if there is any, does nothing otherwise.
203
204 \membersection{wxLog::GetActiveTarget}\label{wxloggetactivetarget}
205
206 \func{static wxLog *}{GetActiveTarget}{\void}
207
208 Returns the pointer to the active log target (may be NULL).
209
210 \membersection{wxLog::SetActiveTarget}\label{wxlogsetactivetarget}
211
212 \func{static wxLog *}{SetActiveTarget}{\param{wxLog * }{ logtarget}}
213
214 Sets the specified log target as the active one. Returns the pointer to the
215 previous active log target (may be NULL).
216
217 \membersection{wxLog::Suspend}\label{wxlogsuspend}
218
219 \func{static void}{Suspend}{\void}
220
221 Suspends the logging until \helpref{Resume}{wxlogresume} is called. Note that
222 the latter must be called the same number of times as the former to undo it,
223 i.e. if you call Suspend() twice you must call Resume() twice as well.
224
225 Note that suspending the logging means that the log sink won't be be flushed
226 periodically, it doesn't have any effect if the current log target does the
227 logging immediately without waiting for \helpref{Flush}{wxlogflush} to be
228 called (the standard GUI log target only shows the log dialog when it is
229 flushed, so Suspend() works as expected with it).

237
238 \func{static void}{Resume}{\void}
239
240 Resumes logging previously suspended by a call to
241 \helpref{Suspend}{wxlogsuspend}. All messages logged in the meanwhile will be
242 flushed soon.
243
244 \membersection{wxLog::DoLog}\label{wxlogdolog}
245
246 \func{virtual void}{DoLog}{\param{wxLogLevel }{level}, \param{const wxChar }{*msg}, \param{time\_t }{timestamp}}
247
248 Called to process the message of the specified severity. {\it msg} is the text
249 of the message as specified in the call of {\it wxLogXXX()} function which
250 generated it and {\it timestamp} is the moment when the message was generated.
251
252 The base class version prepends the timestamp to the message, adds a prefix
253 corresponding to the log level and then calls
254 \helpref{DoLogString}{wxlogdologstring} with the resulting string.
255
256 \membersection{wxLog::DoLogString}\label{wxlogdologstring}
257
258 \func{virtual void}{DoLogString}{\param{const wxChar }{*msg}, \param{time\_t }{timestamp}}
259
260 Called to log the specified string. The timestamp is already included into the
261 string but still passed to this function.
262
263 A simple implementation may just send the string to {\tt stdout} or, better,
264 {\tt stderr}.
265
266 \membersection{wxLog::DontCreateOnDemand}\label{wxlogdontcreateondemand}
267
268 \func{static void}{DontCreateOnDemand}{\void}
269
270 Instructs wxLog to not create new log targets on the fly if there is none
271 currently. (Almost) for internal use only: it is supposed to be called by the
272 application shutdown code.
273
274 Note that this function also calls
275 \helpref{ClearTraceMasks}{wxlogcleartracemasks}.
276
277 \membersection{wxLog::Flush}\label{wxlogflush}
278
279 \func{virtual void}{Flush}{\void}
280
281 Shows all the messages currently in buffer and clears it. If the buffer
282 is already empty, nothing happens.
283
284 \membersection{wxLog::FlushActive}\label{wxlogflushactive}
285
286 \func{static void}{FlushActive}{\void}
287
288 Flushes the current log target if any, does nothing if there is none.

293
294 \membersection{wxLog::SetVerbose}\label{wxlogsetverbose}
295
296 \func{static void}{SetVerbose}{\param{bool }{ verbose = true}}
297
298 Activates or deactivates verbose mode in which the verbose messages are
299 logged as the normal ones instead of being silently dropped.
300
301 \membersection{wxLog::GetVerbose}\label{wxloggetverbose}
302
303 \func{static bool}{GetVerbose}{\void}
304
305 Returns whether the verbose mode is currently active.

307 \membersection{wxLog::SetLogLevel}\label{wxlogsetloglevel}
308
309 \func{static void}{SetLogLevel}{\param{wxLogLevel }{ logLevel}}
310
311 Specifies that log messages with $level > logLevel$ should be ignored
312 and not sent to the active log target.
313
314 \membersection{wxLog::GetLogLevel}\label{wxloggetloglevel}
315
316 \func{static wxLogLevel}{GetLogLevel}{\void}
317
318 Returns the current log level limit.
319
320 \membersection{wxLog::SetTimestamp}\label{wxlogsettimestamp}
321
322 \func{void}{SetTimestamp}{\param{const char * }{ format}}
323
324 Sets the timestamp format prepended by the default log targets to all
325 messages. The string may contain any normal characters as well as \%
326 prefixed format specificators, see {\it strftime()} manual for details.
327 Passing a NULL value (not empty string) to this function disables message timestamping.
328
329 \membersection{wxLog::GetTimestamp}\label{wxloggettimestamp}
330
331 \constfunc{const char *}{GetTimestamp}{\void}
332

340 section for details.
341
342 \membersection{wxLog::GetTraceMask}\label{wxloggettracemask}

367
368 \section{\class{wxLogChain}}\label{wxlogchain}
369
370 This simple class allows to chain log sinks, that is to install a new sink but
371 keep passing log messages to the old one instead of replacing it completely as
372 \helpref{SetActiveTarget}{wxlogsetactivetarget} does.
373
374 It is especially useful when you want to divert the logs somewhere (for
375 example to a file or a log window) but also keep showing the error messages
376 using the standard dialogs as \helpref{wxLogGui}{wxlogoverview} does by default.
377
378 Example of usage:
379
380 \begin{verbatim}
381 wxLogChain *logChain = new wxLogChain(new wxLogStderr);
382
383 // all the log messages are sent to stderr and also processed as usually
384 ...
385
386 // don't delete logChain directly as this would leave a dangling
387 // pointer as active log target, use SetActiveTarget() instead
388 delete wxLog::SetActiveTarget(...something else or NULL...);

409 \membersection{wxLogChain::\destruct{wxLogChain}}

414
415 \membersection{wxLogChain::GetOldLog}\label{wxlogchaingetoldlog}
416
417 \constfunc{wxLog *}{GetOldLog}{\void}
418
419 Returns the pointer to the previously active log target (which may be {\tt
420 NULL}).
421
422 \membersection{wxLogChain::IsPassingMessages}\label{wxlogchainispassingmessages}
423
424 \constfunc{bool}{IsPassingMessages}{\void}
425
426 Returns {\tt true} if the messages are passed to the previously active log
427 target (default) or {\tt false} if \helpref{PassMessages}{wxlogchainpassmessages}
428 had been called.
429
430 \membersection{wxLogChain::PassMessages}\label{wxlogchainpassmessages}
431
432 \func{void}{PassMessages}{\param{bool }{passMessages}}
433
434 By default, the log messages are passed to the previously active log target.
435 Calling this function with {\tt false} parameter disables this behaviour
436 (presumably temporarily, as you shouldn't use wxLogChain at all otherwise) and
437 it can be reenabled by calling it again with {\it passMessages} set to {\tt
438 true}.
439
440 \membersection{wxLogChain::SetLog}\label{wxlogchainsetlog}
441
442 \func{void}{SetLog}{\param{wxLog *}{logger}}
443
444 Sets another log target to use (may be {\tt NULL}). The log target specified
445 in the \helpref{constructor}{wxlogchainwxlogchain} or in a previous call to
446 this function is deleted.
447
448 This doesn't change the old log target value (the one the messages are
449 forwarded to) which still remains the same as was active when wxLogChain
450 object was created.

454 \section{\class{wxLogGui}}\label{wxloggui}
455
456 This is the default log target for the GUI wxWindows applications. It is passed
457 to \helpref{wxLog::SetActiveTarget}{wxlogsetactivetarget} at the program
458 startup and is deleted by wxWindows during the program shut down.

478 \section{\class{wxLogNull}}\label{wxlognull}
479
480 This class allows to temporarily suspend logging. All calls to the log
481 functions during the life time of an object of this class are just ignored.
482
483 In particular, it can be used to suppress the log messages given by wxWindows
484 itself but it should be noted that it is rarely the best way to cope with this
485 problem as {\bf all} log messages are suppressed, even if they indicate a
486 completely different error than the one the programmer wanted to suppress.
487
488 For instance, the example of the overview:
489
490 {\small
491 \begin{verbatim}
492 wxFile file;
493
494 // wxFile.Open() normally complains if file can't be opened, we don't want it
495 {
496 wxLogNull logNo;
497 if ( !file.Open("bar") )
498 ... process error ourselves ...
499 } // ~wxLogNull called, old log sink restored
500
501 wxLogMessage("..."); // ok
502 \end{verbatim}
503 }
504
505 would be better written as:
506
507 {\small
508 \begin{verbatim}
509 wxFile file;
510
511 // don't try to open file if it doesn't exist, we are prepared to deal with
512 // this ourselves - but all other errors are not expected
513 if ( wxFile::Exists("bar") )
514 {
515 // gives an error message if the file couldn't be opened
516 file.Open("bar");
517 }

548
549 A special version of \helpref{wxLogChain}{wxlogchain} which uses itself as the
550 new log target. Maybe more clearly, it means that this is a log target which
551 forwards the log messages to the previously installed one in addition to
552 processing them itself.
553
554 Unlike \helpref{wxLogChain}{wxlogchain} which is usually used directly as is,

574 \section{\class{wxLogStderr}}\label{wxlogstderr}
575
576 This class can be used to redirect the log messages to a C file stream (not to
577 be confused with C++ streams). It is the default log target for the non-GUI
578 wxWindows applications which send all the output to {\tt stderr}.

663
664 \section{\class{wxLogWindow}}\label{wxlogwindow}
665
666 This class represents a background log window: to be precise, it collects all
667 log messages in the log frame which it manages but also passes them on to the
668 log target which was active at the moment of its creation. This allows, for
669 example, to show all the log messages in a frame but still continue to process
670 them normally by showing the standard log dialog.

688 \func{}{wxLogWindow}{\param{wxFrame }{*parent}, \param{const wxChar }{*title}, \param{bool }{show = {\tt true}}, \param{bool }{passToOld = {\tt true}}}
689
690 Creates the log frame window and starts collecting the messages in it.
691
692 \wxheading{Parameters}
693
694 \docparam{parent}{The parent window for the log frame, may be {\tt NULL}}
695
696 \docparam{title}{The title for the log frame}
697
698 \docparam{show}{{\tt true} to show the frame initially (default), otherwise
699 \helpref{wxLogWindow::Show}{wxlogwindowshow} must be called later.}
700
701 \docparam{passToOld}{{\tt true} to process the log messages normally in addition to
702 logging them in the log frame (default), {\tt false} to only log them in the
703 log frame.}
704
705 \membersection{wxLogWindow::Show}\label{wxlogwindowshow}
706
707 \func{void}{Show}{\param{bool }{show = {\tt true}}}
708
709 Shows or hides the frame.
710
711 \membersection{wxLogWindow::GetFrame}
712
713 \constfunc{wxFrame *}{GetFrame}{\void}
714
715 Returns the associated log frame window. This may be used to position or resize
716 it but use \helpref{wxLogWindow::Show}{wxlogwindowshow} to show or hide it.
717
718 \membersection{wxLogWindow::OnFrameCreate}
719
720 \func{virtual void}{OnFrameCreate}{\param{wxFrame }{*frame}}
721
722 Called immediately after the log frame creation allowing for
723 any extra initializations.
724
725 \membersection{wxLogWindow::OnFrameClose}\label{wxlogwindowonframeclose}
726
727 \func{virtual void}{OnFrameClose}{\param{wxFrame }{*frame}}
728
729 Called if the user closes the window interactively, will not be
730 called if it is destroyed for another reason (such as when program
731 exits).
732
733 Return {\tt true} from here to allow the frame to close, {\tt false} to
734 prevent this from happening.

741
742 \func{virtual void}{OnFrameDelete}{\param{wxFrame }{*frame}}
743
744 Called right before the log frame is going to be deleted: will
745 always be called unlike \helpref{OnFrameClose()}{wxlogwindowonframeclose}.
