12 This class presents the debug report to the user and allows him to veto
13 report entirely or remove some parts of it. Although not mandatory, using
14 this class is strongly recommended as data included in the debug report
15 might contain sensitive private information and the user should be notified
16 about it as well as having a possibility to examine the data which had been
17 gathered to check whether this is effectively the case and discard the
18 debug report if it is.
19
20 wxDebugReportPreview is an abstract base class, currently the only concrete
21 class deriving from it is wxDebugReportPreviewStd.

118 @class wxDebugReport
119
120 wxDebugReport is used to generate a debug report, containing information
121 about the program current state. It is usually used from
122 wxApp::OnFatalException() as shown in the @ref page_samples_debugrpt.
123
124 A wxDebugReport object contains one or more files. A few of them can be
125 created by the class itself but more can be created from the outside and
126 then added to the report. Also note that several virtual functions may be
127 overridden to further customize the class behaviour.
128
129 Once a report is fully assembled, it can simply be left in the temporary
130 directory so that the user can email it to the developers (in which case
131 you should still use wxDebugReportCompress to compress it in a single file)
132 or uploaded to a Web server using wxDebugReportUpload (setting up the Web
133 server to accept uploads is your responsibility, of course). Other
134 handlers, for example for automatically emailing the report, can be defined
135 as well but are not currently included in wxWidgets.
136
137 A typical usage example:
138
139 @code
140 wxDebugReport report;
141 wxDebugReportPreviewStd preview;
142
143 report.AddCurrentContext(); // could also use AddAll()
144 report.AddCurrentDump(); // to do both at once
145
146 if ( preview.Show(report) )
147 report.Process();
148 @endcode
