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 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.
80
81 \helpref{Flush}{wxlogflush}\\
82 \helpref{FlushActive}{wxlogflushactive}\\
83 \helpref{HasPendingMessages}{wxloghaspendingmessages}
84
85 \membersection{Customization}\label{wxlogcustomization}
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
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.
96
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:
99 either by using \helpref{SetTraceMask}{wxlogsettracemask} and
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,
110
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
117
118 \begin{verbatim}
119 // wxTRACE_OleCalls is one of standard string masks
120 wxLogTrace(wxTRACE_OleCalls, "IFoo::Bar() called");
121 \end{verbatim}
122
123 will log the message if it was preceded by
124
125 \begin{verbatim}
126 wxLog::AddTraceMask(wxTRACE_OleCalls);
127 \end{verbatim}
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.
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
139 any string with \% specifications fully described in the documentation of the
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
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.

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

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).
219
220 \membersection{wxLog::Suspend}\label{wxlogsuspend}
221
222 \func{static void}{Suspend}{\void}
223
224 Suspends the logging until \helpref{Resume}{wxlogresume} is called. Note that
225 the latter must be called the same number of times as the former to undo it,
226 i.e. if you call Suspend() twice you must call Resume() twice as well.
227
228 Note that suspending the logging means that the log sink won't be be flushed
229 periodically, it doesn't have any effect if the current log target does the
230 logging immediately without waiting for \helpref{Flush}{wxlogflush} to be
231 called (the standard GUI log target only shows the log dialog when it is
232 flushed, so Suspend() works as expected with it).

240
241 \func{static void}{Resume}{\void}
242
243 Resumes logging previously suspended by a call to
244 \helpref{Suspend}{wxlogsuspend}. All messages logged in the meanwhile will be
245 flushed soon.
246
247 \membersection{wxLog::DoLog}\label{wxlogdolog}
248
249 \func{virtual void}{DoLog}{\param{wxLogLevel }{level}, \param{const wxChar }{*msg}, \param{time\_t }{timestamp}}
250
251 Called to process the message of the specified severity. {\it msg} is the text
252 of the message as specified in the call of {\it wxLogXXX()} function which
253 generated it and {\it timestamp} is the moment when the message was generated.
254
255 The base class version prepends the timestamp to the message, adds a prefix
256 corresponding to the log level and then calls
257 \helpref{DoLogString}{wxlogdologstring} with the resulting string.
258
259 \membersection{wxLog::DoLogString}\label{wxlogdologstring}
260
261 \func{virtual void}{DoLogString}{\param{const wxChar }{*msg}, \param{time\_t }{timestamp}}
262
263 Called to log the specified string. The timestamp is already included into the
264 string but still passed to this function.
265
266 A simple implementation may just send the string to {\tt stdout} or, better,
267 {\tt stderr}.
268
269 \membersection{wxLog::DontCreateOnDemand}\label{wxlogdontcreateondemand}
270
271 \func{static void}{DontCreateOnDemand}{\void}
272
273 Instructs wxLog to not create new log targets on the fly if there is none
274 currently. (Almost) for internal use only: it is supposed to be called by the
275 application shutdown code.
276
277 Note that this function also calls
278 \helpref{ClearTraceMasks}{wxlogcleartracemasks}.
279
280 \membersection{wxLog::Flush}\label{wxlogflush}
281
282 \func{virtual void}{Flush}{\void}
283
284 Shows all the messages currently in buffer and clears it. If the buffer
285 is already empty, nothing happens.
286
287 \membersection{wxLog::FlushActive}\label{wxlogflushactive}
288
289 \func{static void}{FlushActive}{\void}
290
291 Flushes the current log target if any, does nothing if there is none.

299 \constfunc{bool}{HasPendingMessages}{\void}
300
301 Returns true if there are any messages in the buffer (not yet shown to the
302 user). (Almost) for internal use only.
303
304 \membersection{wxLog::SetVerbose}\label{wxlogsetverbose}
305
306 \func{static void}{SetVerbose}{\param{bool }{ verbose = TRUE}}
307
308 Activates or deactivates verbose mode in which the verbose messages are
309 logged as the normal ones instead of being silently dropped.
310
311 \membersection{wxLog::GetVerbose}\label{wxloggetverbose}
312
313 \func{static bool}{GetVerbose}{\void}
314
315 Returns whether the verbose mode is currently active.
316
317 \membersection{wxLog::SetTimestamp}\label{wxlogsettimestamp}
318
319 \func{void}{SetTimestamp}{\param{const char * }{ format}}
320
321 Sets the timestamp format prepended by the default log targets to all
322 messages. The string may contain any normal characters as well as \%
323 prefixed format specificators, see {\it strftime()} manual for details.
324 Passing a NULL value (not empty string) to this function disables message timestamping.
325
326 \membersection{wxLog::GetTimestamp}\label{wxloggettimestamp}
327
328 \constfunc{const char *}{GetTimestamp}{\void}
329
330 Returns the current timestamp format string.

333
334 \func{static void}{SetTraceMask}{\param{wxTraceMask }{ mask}}

337 section for details.
338
339 \membersection{wxLog::GetTraceMask}\label{wxloggettracemask}
340
341 Returns the current trace mask, see \helpref{Customization}{wxlogcustomization} section

364
365 \section{\class{wxLogChain}}\label{wxlogchain}
366
367 This simple class allows to chain log sinks, that is to install a new sink but
368 keep passing log messages to the old one instead of replacing it completely as
369 \helpref{SetActiveTarget}{wxlogsetactivetarget} does.
370
371 It is especially useful when you want to divert the logs somewhere (for
372 example to a file or a log window) but also keep showing the error messages
373 using the standard dialogs as \helpref{wxLogGui}{wxlogoverview} does by default.
374
375 Example of usage:
376
377 \begin{verbatim}
378 wxLogChain *logChain = new wxLogChain(new wxLogStderr);
379
380 // all the log messages are sent to stderr and also processed as usually
381 ...
382
383 // don't delete logChain directly as this would leave a dangling
384 // pointer as active log target, use SetActiveTarget() instead
385 delete wxLog::SetActiveTarget(...something else or NULL...);

412 \membersection{wxLogChain::GetOldLog}\label{wxlogchaingetoldlog}
413
414 \constfunc{wxLog *}{GetOldLog}{\void}
415
416 Returns the pointer to the previously active log target (which may be {\tt
417 NULL}).
418
419 \membersection{wxLogChain::IsPassingMessages}\label{wxlogchainispassingmessages}
420
421 \constfunc{bool}{IsPassingMessages}{\void}
422
423 Returns {\tt TRUE} if the messages are passed to the previously active log
424 target (default) or {\tt FALSE} if \helpref{PassMessages}{wxlogchainpassmessages}
425 had been called.
426
427 \membersection{wxLogChain::PassMessages}\label{wxlogchainpassmessages}
428
429 \func{void}{PassMessages}{\param{bool }{passMessages}}
430
431 By default, the log messages are passed to the previously active log target.
432 Calling this function with {\tt FALSE} parameter disables this behaviour
433 (presumably temporarily, as you shouldn't use wxLogChain at all otherwise) and
434 it can be reenabled by calling it again with {\it passMessages} set to {\tt
435 TRUE}.
436
437 \membersection{wxLogChain::SetLog}\label{wxlogchainsetlog}
438
439 \func{void}{SetLog}{\param{wxLog *}{logger}}
440
441 Sets another log target to use (may be {\tt NULL}). The log target specified
442 in the \helpref{constructor}{wxlogchainwxlogchain} or in a previous call to
443 this function is deleted.
444
445 This doesn't change the old log target value (the one the messages are
446 forwarded to) which still remains the same as was active when wxLogChain
447 object was created.

475 \section{\class{wxLogNull}}\label{wxlognull}
476
477 This class allows to temporarily suspend logging. All calls to the log
478 functions during the life time of an object of this class are just ignored.
479
480 In particular, it can be used to suppress the log messages given by wxWindows
481 itself but it should be noted that it is rarely the best way to cope with this
482 problem as {\bf all} log messages are suppressed, even if they indicate a
483 completely different error than the one the programmer wanted to suppress.
484
485 For instance, the example of the overview:
486
487 {\small
488 \begin{verbatim}
489 wxFile file;
490
491 // wxFile.Open() normally complains if file can't be opened, we don't want it
492 {
493 wxLogNull logNo;
494 if ( !file.Open("bar") )
495 ... process error ourselves ...
496 } // ~wxLogNull called, old log sink restored
497
498 wxLogMessage("..."); // ok
499 \end{verbatim}
500 }
501
502 would be better written as:
503
504 {\small
505 \begin{verbatim}
506 wxFile file;
507
508 // don't try to open file if it doesn't exist, we are prepared to deal with
509 // this ourselves - but all other errors are not expected
510 if ( wxFile::Exists("bar") )
511 {
512 // gives an error message if the file couldn't be opened
513 file.Open("bar");
514 }

546 A special version of \helpref{wxLogChain}{wxlogchain} which uses itself as the

548 forwards the log messages to the previously installed one in addition to
549 processing them itself.
550
551 Unlike \helpref{wxLogChain}{wxlogchain} which is usually used directly as is,

572
573 This class can be used to redirect the log messages to a C file stream (not to
574 be confused with C++ streams). It is the default log target for the non-GUI
575 wxWindows applications which send all the output to {\tt stderr}.

660
661 \section{\class{wxLogWindow}}\label{wxlogwindow}
662
663 This class represents a background log window: to be precise, it collects all
664 log messages in the log frame which it manages but also passes them on to the
665 log target which was active at the moment of its creation. This allows, for
666 example, to show all the log messages in a frame but still continue to process
667 them normally by showing the standard log dialog.

686
687 Creates the log frame window and starts collecting the messages in it.
688
689 \wxheading{Parameters}
690
691 \docparam{parent}{The parent window for the log frame, may be {\tt NULL}}
692
693 \docparam{title}{The title for the log frame}
694
695 \docparam{show}{{\tt TRUE} to show the frame initially (default), otherwise
696 \helpref{wxLogWindow::Show}{wxlogwindowshow} must be called later.}
697
698 \docparam{passToOld}{{\tt TRUE} to process the log messages normally in addition to
699 logging them in the log frame (default), {\tt FALSE} to only log them in the
700 log frame.}
701
702 \membersection{wxLogWindow::Show}\label{wxlogwindowshow}
703
704 \func{void}{Show}{\param{bool }{show = {\tt TRUE}}}
705
706 Shows or hides the frame.
707
708 \membersection{wxLogWindow::GetFrame}
709
710 \constfunc{wxFrame *}{GetFrame}{\void}
711
712 Returns the associated log frame window. This may be used to position or resize
713 it but use \helpref{wxLogWindow::Show}{wxlogwindowshow} to show or hide it.
714
715 \membersection{wxLogWindow::OnFrameCreate}
716
717 \func{virtual void}{OnFrameCreate}{\param{wxFrame }{*frame}}
718
719 Called immediately after the log frame creation allowing for
720 any extra initializations.
721
722 \membersection{wxLogWindow::OnFrameClose}\label{wxlogwindowonframeclose}
723
724 \func{virtual void}{OnFrameClose}{\param{wxFrame }{*frame}}
725
726 Called if the user closes the window interactively, will not be
727 called if it is destroyed for another reason (such as when program
728 exits).
729
730 Return {\tt TRUE} from here to allow the frame to close, {\tt FALSE} to
731 prevent this from happening.
