12 \section{\class{wxLog}}\label{wxlog}
13
14 wxLog class defines the interface for the {\it log targets} used by wxWidgets
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 wxWidgets
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}\label{loggingfunctions}
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.

203
204 Forwards the message at specified level to the {\it DoLog()} function of the
205 active log target if there is any, does nothing otherwise.
206
207 \membersection{wxLog::GetActiveTarget}\label{wxloggetactivetarget}
208
209 \func{static wxLog *}{GetActiveTarget}{\void}

212
213 \membersection{wxLog::SetActiveTarget}\label{wxlogsetactivetarget}
214
215 \func{static wxLog *}{SetActiveTarget}{\param{wxLog * }{ logtarget}}
216
217 Sets the specified log target as the active one. Returns the pointer to the
218 previous active log target (may be NULL). To supress logging use a new
219 instance of wxLogNull not NULL. If the active log target is set to NULL a
220 new default log target will be created when logging occurs.
221
222 \membersection{wxLog::Suspend}\label{wxlogsuspend}
223
224 \func{static void}{Suspend}{\void}
225
226 Suspends the logging until \helpref{Resume}{wxlogresume} is called. Note that
227 the latter must be called the same number of times as the former to undo it,
228 i.e. if you call Suspend() twice you must call Resume() twice as well.
229
230 Note that suspending the logging means that the log sink won't be be flushed
231 periodically, it doesn't have any effect if the current log target does the
232 logging immediately without waiting for \helpref{Flush}{wxlogflush} to be
233 called (the standard GUI log target only shows the log dialog when it is
234 flushed, so Suspend() works as expected with it).

243 \func{static void}{Resume}{\void}
244
245 Resumes logging previously suspended by a call to
246 \helpref{Suspend}{wxlogsuspend}. All messages logged in the meanwhile will be
247 flushed soon.
248

250
251 \func{virtual void}{DoLog}{\param{wxLogLevel }{level}, \param{const wxChar }{*msg}, \param{time\_t }{timestamp}}
252
253 Called to process the message of the specified severity. {\it msg} is the text
254 of the message as specified in the call of {\it wxLogXXX()} function which
255 generated it and {\it timestamp} is the moment when the message was generated.
256
257 The base class version prepends the timestamp to the message, adds a prefix
258 corresponding to the log level and then calls
259 \helpref{DoLogString}{wxlogdologstring} with the resulting string.
260
261 \membersection{wxLog::DoLogString}\label{wxlogdologstring}
262
263 \func{virtual void}{DoLogString}{\param{const wxChar }{*msg}, \param{time\_t }{timestamp}}
264
265 Called to log the specified string. The timestamp is already included into the
266 string but still passed to this function.
267
268 A simple implementation may just send the string to {\tt stdout} or, better,
269 {\tt stderr}.
270
271 \membersection{wxLog::DontCreateOnDemand}\label{wxlogdontcreateondemand}
272
273 \func{static void}{DontCreateOnDemand}{\void}
274
275 Instructs wxLog to not create new log targets on the fly if there is none
276 currently. (Almost) for internal use only: it is supposed to be called by the
277 application shutdown code.
278
279 Note that this function also calls
280 \helpref{ClearTraceMasks}{wxlogcleartracemasks}.
281
282 \membersection{wxLog::Flush}\label{wxlogflush}

303 Activates or deactivates verbose mode in which the verbose messages are
304 logged as the normal ones instead of being silently dropped.
305
306 \membersection{wxLog::GetVerbose}\label{wxloggetverbose}

313
314 \func{static void}{SetLogLevel}{\param{wxLogLevel }{ logLevel}}
315
316 Specifies that log messages with $level > logLevel$ should be ignored
317 and not sent to the active log target.
318
319 \membersection{wxLog::GetLogLevel}\label{wxloggetloglevel}
320
321 \func{static wxLogLevel}{GetLogLevel}{\void}
322

324
325 \membersection{wxLog::SetTimestamp}\label{wxlogsettimestamp}
326
327 \func{void}{SetTimestamp}{\param{const char * }{ format}}
328
329 Sets the timestamp format prepended by the default log targets to all
330 messages. The string may contain any normal characters as well as \%
331 prefixed format specificators, see {\it strftime()} manual for details.
332 Passing a NULL value (not empty string) to this function disables message timestamping.

372
373 \section{\class{wxLogChain}}\label{wxlogchain}
374
375 This simple class allows to chain log sinks, that is to install a new sink but
376 keep passing log messages to the old one instead of replacing it completely as
377 \helpref{SetActiveTarget}{wxlogsetactivetarget} does.
378
379 It is especially useful when you want to divert the logs somewhere (for
380 example to a file or a log window) but also keep showing the error messages
381 using the standard dialogs as \helpref{wxLogGui}{wxlogoverview} does by default.
382
383 Example of usage:
384
385 \begin{verbatim}
386 wxLogChain *logChain = new wxLogChain(new wxLogStderr);
387
388 // all the log messages are sent to stderr and also processed as usually
389 ...
390
391 // don't delete logChain directly as this would leave a dangling
392 // pointer as active log target, use SetActiveTarget() instead
393 delete wxLog::SetActiveTarget(...something else or NULL...);

420 \membersection{wxLogChain::GetOldLog}\label{wxlogchaingetoldlog}
421
422 \constfunc{wxLog *}{GetOldLog}{\void}
423
424 Returns the pointer to the previously active log target (which may be {\tt
425 NULL}).
426
427 \membersection{wxLogChain::IsPassingMessages}\label{wxlogchainispassingmessages}
428
429 \constfunc{bool}{IsPassingMessages}{\void}
430
431 Returns {\tt true} if the messages are passed to the previously active log
432 target (default) or {\tt false} if \helpref{PassMessages}{wxlogchainpassmessages}
433 had been called.
434
435 \membersection{wxLogChain::PassMessages}\label{wxlogchainpassmessages}
436
437 \func{void}{PassMessages}{\param{bool }{passMessages}}
438
439 By default, the log messages are passed to the previously active log target.
440 Calling this function with {\tt false} parameter disables this behaviour
441 (presumably temporarily, as you shouldn't use wxLogChain at all otherwise) and
442 it can be reenabled by calling it again with {\it passMessages} set to {\tt
443 true}.
444
445 \membersection{wxLogChain::SetLog}\label{wxlogchainsetlog}
446
447 \func{void}{SetLog}{\param{wxLog *}{logger}}
448
449 Sets another log target to use (may be {\tt NULL}). The log target specified
450 in the \helpref{constructor}{wxlogchainctor} or in a previous call to
451 this function is deleted.
452
453 This doesn't change the old log target value (the one the messages are
454 forwarded to) which still remains the same as was active when wxLogChain
455 object was created.

484
485 This class allows to temporarily suspend logging. All calls to the log
486 functions during the life time of an object of this class are just ignored.
487
488 In particular, it can be used to suppress the log messages given by wxWidgets
489 itself but it should be noted that it is rarely the best way to cope with this
490 problem as {\bf all} log messages are suppressed, even if they indicate a
491 completely different error than the one the programmer wanted to suppress.
492
493 For instance, the example of the overview:
494
495 {\small
496 \begin{verbatim}
497 wxFile file;
498
499 // wxFile.Open() normally complains if file can't be opened, we don't want it
500 {
501 wxLogNull logNo;
502 if ( !file.Open("bar") )
503 ... process error ourselves ...
504 } // ~wxLogNull called, old log sink restored
505
506 wxLogMessage("..."); // ok
507 \end{verbatim}
508 }%
509
510 would be better written as:
511
512 {\small
513 \begin{verbatim}
514 wxFile file;
515
516 // don't try to open file if it doesn't exist, we are prepared to deal with
517 // this ourselves - but all other errors are not expected
518 if ( wxFile::Exists("bar") )
519 {
520 // gives an error message if the file couldn't be opened
521 file.Open("bar");
522 }

553
554 A special version of \helpref{wxLogChain}{wxlogchain} which uses itself as the
555 new log target. Maybe more clearly, it means that this is a log target which
556 forwards the log messages to the previously installed one in addition to
557 processing them itself.
558
559 Unlike \helpref{wxLogChain}{wxlogchain} which is usually used directly as is,

580
581 This class can be used to redirect the log messages to a C file stream (not to
582 be confused with C++ streams). It is the default log target for the non-GUI
583 wxWidgets applications which send all the output to {\tt stderr}.

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

694
695 Creates the log frame window and starts collecting the messages in it.
696
697 \wxheading{Parameters}
698
699 \docparam{parent}{The parent window for the log frame, may be {\tt NULL}}
700
701 \docparam{title}{The title for the log frame}
702
703 \docparam{show}{{\tt true} to show the frame initially (default), otherwise
704 \helpref{wxLogWindow::Show}{wxlogwindowshow} must be called later.}
705
706 \docparam{passToOld}{{\tt true} to process the log messages normally in addition to
707 logging them in the log frame (default), {\tt false} to only log them in the
708 log frame.}
709
710 \membersection{wxLogWindow::Show}\label{wxlogwindowshow}
711
712 \func{void}{Show}{\param{bool }{show = {\tt true}}}
713
714 Shows or hides the frame.
715
716 \membersection{wxLogWindow::GetFrame}\label{wxlogwindowgetframe}
717
718 \constfunc{wxFrame *}{GetFrame}{\void}
719
720 Returns the associated log frame window. This may be used to position or resize
721 it but use \helpref{wxLogWindow::Show}{wxlogwindowshow} to show or hide it.
722
723 \membersection{wxLogWindow::OnFrameCreate}\label{wxlogwindowonframecreate}
724
725 \func{virtual void}{OnFrameCreate}{\param{wxFrame }{*frame}}
726
727 Called immediately after the log frame creation allowing for
728 any extra initializations.
729
730 \membersection{wxLogWindow::OnFrameClose}\label{wxlogwindowonframeclose}
731
732 \func{virtual bool}{OnFrameClose}{\param{wxFrame }{*frame}}
733
734 Called if the user closes the window interactively, will not be
735 called if it is destroyed for another reason (such as when program
736 exits).
737
738 Return {\tt true} from here to allow the frame to close, {\tt false} to
739 prevent this from happening.

746
747 \func{virtual void}{OnFrameDelete}{\param{wxFrame }{*frame}}
748
749 Called right before the log frame is going to be deleted: will
750 always be called unlike \helpref{OnFrameClose()}{wxlogwindowonframeclose}.
