31 The type used to specify a log level.
33 Default values of ::wxLogLevel used by wxWidgets are contained in the
34 ::wxLogLevelValues enumeration.
36 typedef unsigned long wxLogLevel
;
39 Information about a log record (unit of the log output).
44 /// The name of the file where this log message was generated.
47 /// The line number at which this log message was generated.
51 The name of the function where the log record was generated.
53 This field may be @NULL if the compiler doesn't support @c __FUNCTION__
54 (but most modern compilers do).
58 /// Time when the log message was generated.
62 Id of the thread in which the message was generated.
64 This field is only available if wxWidgets was built with threads
65 support (<code>wxUSE_THREADS == 1</code>).
67 @see wxThread::GetCurrentId()
69 wxThreadIdType threadId
;
75 wxLogFormatter class is used to format the log messages. It implements the
76 default formatting and can be derived from to create custom formatters.
78 The default implementation formats the message into a string containing
79 the time stamp, level-dependent prefix and the message itself.
81 To change it, you can derive from it and override its Format() method. For
82 example, to include the thread id in the log messages you can use
84 class LogFormatterWithThread : public wxLogFormatter
86 virtual wxString Format(wxLogLevel level,
88 const wxLogRecordInfo& info) const
90 return wxString::Format("[%d] %s(%d) : %s",
91 info.threadId, info.filename, info.line, msg);
95 And then associate it with wxLog instance using its SetFormatter(). Then,
99 wxLogMessage(_("*** Application started ***"));
102 the log output could be something like:
105 [7872] d:\testApp\src\testApp.cpp(85) : *** Application started ***
111 @see @ref overview_log
119 The default ctor does nothing.
125 This function creates the full log message string.
127 Override it to customize the output string format.
130 The level of this log record, e.g. ::wxLOG_Error.
132 The log message itself.
134 All the other information (such as time, component, location...)
135 associated with this log record.
138 The formated message.
141 Time stamping is disabled for Visual C++ users in debug builds by
142 default because otherwise it would be impossible to directly go to the line
143 from which the log message was generated by simply clicking in the debugger
144 window on the corresponding error message. If you wish to enable it, override
147 virtual wxString
Format(wxLogLevel level
,
149 const wxLogRecordInfo
& info
) const;
153 This function formats the time stamp part of the log message.
155 Override this function if you need to customize just the time stamp.
161 The formated time string, may be empty.
163 virtual wxString
FormatTime(time_t time
) const;
170 wxLog class defines the interface for the <em>log targets</em> used by wxWidgets
171 logging functions as explained in the @ref overview_log.
173 The only situations when you need to directly use this class is when you want
174 to derive your own log target because the existing ones don't satisfy your
177 Otherwise, it is completely hidden behind the @ref group_funcmacro_log "wxLogXXX() functions"
178 and you may not even know about its existence.
180 @note For console-mode applications, the default target is wxLogStderr, so
181 that all @e wxLogXXX() functions print on @c stderr when @c wxUSE_GUI = 0.
186 @see @ref overview_log, @ref group_funcmacro_log "wxLogXXX() functions"
192 @name Trace mask functions
197 Add the @a mask to the list of allowed masks for wxLogTrace().
199 @see RemoveTraceMask(), GetTraceMasks()
201 static void AddTraceMask(const wxString
& mask
);
204 Removes all trace masks previously set with AddTraceMask().
206 @see RemoveTraceMask()
208 static void ClearTraceMasks();
211 Returns the currently allowed list of string trace masks.
215 static const wxArrayString
& GetTraceMasks();
218 Returns @true if the @a mask is one of allowed masks for wxLogTrace().
220 See also: AddTraceMask(), RemoveTraceMask()
222 static bool IsAllowedTraceMask(const wxString
& mask
);
225 Remove the @a mask from the list of allowed masks for
230 static void RemoveTraceMask(const wxString
& mask
);
237 @name Log target functions
242 Instructs wxLog to not create new log targets on the fly if there is none
243 currently (see GetActiveTarget()).
245 (Almost) for internal use only: it is supposed to be called by the
246 application shutdown code (where you don't want the log target to be
247 automatically created anymore).
249 Note that this function also calls ClearTraceMasks().
251 static void DontCreateOnDemand();
254 Returns the pointer to the active log target (may be @NULL).
256 Notice that if SetActiveTarget() hadn't been previously explicitly
257 called, this function will by default try to create a log target by
258 calling wxAppTraits::CreateLogTarget() which may be overridden in a
259 user-defined traits class to change the default behaviour. You may also
260 call DontCreateOnDemand() to disable this behaviour.
262 When this function is called from threads other than main one,
263 auto-creation doesn't happen. But if the thread has a thread-specific
264 log target previously set by SetThreadActiveTarget(), it is returned
265 instead of the global one. Otherwise, the global log target is
268 static wxLog
* GetActiveTarget();
271 Sets the specified log target as the active one.
273 Returns the pointer to the previous active log target (may be @NULL).
274 To suppress logging use a new instance of wxLogNull not @NULL. If the
275 active log target is set to @NULL a new default log target will be
276 created when logging occurs.
278 @see SetThreadActiveTarget()
280 static wxLog
* SetActiveTarget(wxLog
* logtarget
);
283 Sets a thread-specific log target.
285 The log target passed to this function will be used for all messages
286 logged by the current thread using the usual wxLog functions. This
287 shouldn't be called from the main thread which never uses a thread-
288 specific log target but can be used for the other threads to handle
289 thread logging completely separately; instead of buffering thread log
290 messages in the main thread logger.
292 Notice that unlike for SetActiveTarget(), wxWidgets does not destroy
293 the thread-specific log targets when the thread terminates so doing
294 this is your responsibility.
296 This method is only available if @c wxUSE_THREADS is 1, i.e. wxWidgets
297 was compiled with threads support.
300 The new thread-specific log target, possibly @NULL.
302 The previous thread-specific log target, initially @NULL.
306 static wxLog
*SetThreadActiveTarget(wxLog
*logger
);
309 Flushes the current log target if any, does nothing if there is none.
311 When this method is called from the main thread context, it also
312 flushes any previously buffered messages logged by the other threads.
313 When it is called from the other threads it simply calls Flush() on the
314 currently active log target, so it mostly makes sense to do this if a
315 thread has its own logger set with SetThreadActiveTarget().
317 static void FlushActive();
320 Resumes logging previously suspended by a call to Suspend().
321 All messages logged in the meanwhile will be flushed soon.
323 static void Resume();
326 Suspends the logging until Resume() is called.
328 Note that the latter must be called the same number of times as the former
329 to undo it, i.e. if you call Suspend() twice you must call Resume() twice as well.
331 Note that suspending the logging means that the log sink won't be flushed
332 periodically, it doesn't have any effect if the current log target does the
333 logging immediately without waiting for Flush() to be called (the standard
334 GUI log target only shows the log dialog when it is flushed, so Suspend()
335 works as expected with it).
337 @see Resume(), wxLogNull
339 static void Suspend();
346 @name Log level functions
351 Returns the current log level limit.
353 All messages at levels strictly greater than the value returned by this
354 function are not logged at all.
356 @see SetLogLevel(), IsLevelEnabled()
358 static wxLogLevel
GetLogLevel();
361 Returns true if logging at this level is enabled for the current thread.
363 This function only returns @true if logging is globally enabled and if
364 @a level is less than or equal to the maximal log level enabled for the
367 @see IsEnabled(), SetLogLevel(), GetLogLevel(), SetComponentLevel()
371 static bool IsLevelEnabled(wxLogLevel level
, wxString component
);
374 Sets the log level for the given component.
376 For example, to disable all but error messages from wxWidgets network
379 wxLog::SetComponentLevel("wx/net", wxLOG_Error);
382 SetLogLevel() may be used to set the global log level.
385 Non-empty component name, possibly using slashes (@c /) to separate
386 it into several parts.
388 Maximal level of log messages from this component which will be
389 handled instead of being simply discarded.
393 static void SetComponentLevel(const wxString
& component
, wxLogLevel level
);
396 Specifies that log messages with level greater (numerically) than
397 @a logLevel should be ignored and not sent to the active log target.
399 @see SetComponentLevel()
401 static void SetLogLevel(wxLogLevel logLevel
);
408 @name Enable/disable features functions
413 Globally enable or disable logging.
415 Calling this function with @false argument disables all log messages
416 for the current thread.
418 @see wxLogNull, IsEnabled()
421 The old state, i.e. @true if logging was previously enabled and
422 @false if it was disabled.
424 static bool EnableLogging(bool enable
= true);
427 Returns true if logging is enabled at all now.
429 @see IsLevelEnabled(), EnableLogging()
431 static bool IsEnabled();
434 Returns whether the repetition counting mode is enabled.
436 static bool GetRepetitionCounting();
439 Enables logging mode in which a log message is logged once, and in case exactly
440 the same message successively repeats one or more times, only the number of
441 repetitions is logged.
443 static void SetRepetitionCounting(bool repetCounting
= true);
446 Returns the current timestamp format string.
448 Notice that the current time stamp is only used by the default log
449 formatter and custom formatters may ignore this format.
451 static const wxString
& GetTimestamp();
454 Sets the timestamp format prepended by the default log targets to all
455 messages. The string may contain any normal characters as well as %
456 prefixed format specifiers, see @e strftime() manual for details.
457 Passing an empty string to this function disables message time stamping.
459 Notice that the current time stamp is only used by the default log
460 formatter and custom formatters may ignore this format. You can also
461 define a custom wxLogFormatter to customize the time stamp handling
462 beyond changing its format.
464 static void SetTimestamp(const wxString
& format
);
467 Disables time stamping of the log messages.
469 Notice that the current time stamp is only used by the default log
470 formatter and custom formatters may ignore calls to this function.
474 static void DisableTimestamp();
477 Returns whether the verbose mode is currently active.
479 static bool GetVerbose();
482 Activates or deactivates verbose mode in which the verbose messages are
483 logged as the normal ones instead of being silently dropped.
485 The verbose messages are the trace messages which are not disabled in the
486 release mode and are generated by wxLogVerbose().
488 @see @ref overview_log
490 static void SetVerbose(bool verbose
= true);
496 Sets the specified formatter as the active one.
499 The new formatter. If @NULL, reset to the default formatter.
501 Returns the pointer to the previous formatter. You must delete it
502 if you don't plan to attach it again to a wxLog object later.
506 wxLogFormatter
*SetFormatter(wxLogFormatter
* formatter
);
510 Some of wxLog implementations, most notably the standard wxLogGui class,
511 buffer the messages (for example, to avoid showing the user a zillion of modal
512 message boxes one after another -- which would be really annoying).
513 This function shows them all and clears the buffer contents.
514 If the buffer is already empty, nothing happens.
516 If you override this method in a derived class, call the base class
517 version first, before doing anything else.
519 virtual void Flush();
522 Log the given record.
524 This function should only be called from the DoLog() implementations in
525 the derived classes if they need to call DoLogRecord() on another log
526 object (they can, of course, just use wxLog::DoLogRecord() call syntax
527 to call it on the object itself). It should not be used for logging new
528 messages which can be only sent to the currently active logger using
529 OnLog() which also checks if the logging (for this level) is enabled
530 while this method just directly calls DoLog().
532 Example of use of this class from wxLogChain:
534 void wxLogChain::DoLogRecord(wxLogLevel level,
536 const wxLogRecordInfo& info)
538 // let the previous logger show it
539 if ( m_logOld && IsPassingMessages() )
540 m_logOld->LogRecord(level, msg, info);
542 // and also send it to the new one
543 if ( m_logNew && m_logNew != this )
544 m_logNew->LogRecord(level, msg, info);
550 void LogRecord(wxLogLevel level
, const wxString
& msg
, const wxLogRecordInfo
& info
);
554 @name Logging callbacks.
556 The functions which should be overridden by custom log targets.
558 When defining a new log target, you have a choice between overriding
559 DoLogRecord(), which provides maximal flexibility, DoLogTextAtLevel()
560 which can be used if you don't intend to change the default log
561 messages formatting but want to handle log messages of different levels
562 differently or, in the simplest case, DoLogText().
567 Called to log a new record.
569 Any log message created by wxLogXXX() functions is passed to this
570 method of the active log target. The default implementation prepends
571 the timestamp and, for some log levels (e.g. error and warning), the
572 corresponding prefix to @a msg and passes it to DoLogTextAtLevel().
574 You may override this method to implement custom formatting of the
575 log messages or to implement custom filtering of log messages (e.g. you
576 could discard all log messages coming from the given source file).
578 virtual void DoLogRecord(wxLogLevel level
,
580 const wxLogRecordInfo
& info
);
583 Called to log the specified string at given level.
585 The base class versions logs debug and trace messages on the system
586 default debug output channel and passes all the other messages to
589 virtual void DoLogTextAtLevel(wxLogLevel level
, const wxString
& msg
);
592 Called to log the specified string.
594 A simple implementation might just send the string to @c stdout or
595 @c stderr or save it in a file (of course, the already existing
596 wxLogStderr can be used for this).
598 The base class version of this function asserts so it must be
599 overridden if you don't override DoLogRecord() or DoLogTextAtLevel().
601 virtual void DoLogText(const wxString
& msg
);
611 This simple class allows you to chain log sinks, that is to install a new sink but
612 keep passing log messages to the old one instead of replacing it completely as
613 wxLog::SetActiveTarget does.
615 It is especially useful when you want to divert the logs somewhere (for
616 example to a file or a log window) but also keep showing the error messages
617 using the standard dialogs as wxLogGui does by default.
622 wxLogChain *logChain = new wxLogChain(new wxLogStderr);
624 // all the log messages are sent to stderr and also processed as usually
627 // don't delete logChain directly as this would leave a dangling
628 // pointer as active log target, use SetActiveTarget() instead
629 delete wxLog::SetActiveTarget(...something else or NULL...);
635 class wxLogChain
: public wxLog
639 Sets the specified @c logger (which may be @NULL) as the default log
640 target but the log messages are also passed to the previous log target if any.
642 wxLogChain(wxLog
* logger
);
645 Destroys the previous log target.
647 virtual ~wxLogChain();
650 Detaches the old log target so it won't be destroyed when the wxLogChain object
656 Returns the pointer to the previously active log target (which may be @NULL).
658 wxLog
* GetOldLog() const;
661 Returns @true if the messages are passed to the previously active log
662 target (default) or @false if PassMessages() had been called.
664 bool IsPassingMessages() const;
667 By default, the log messages are passed to the previously active log target.
668 Calling this function with @false parameter disables this behaviour
669 (presumably temporarily, as you shouldn't use wxLogChain at all otherwise) and
670 it can be reenabled by calling it again with @a passMessages set to @true.
672 void PassMessages(bool passMessages
);
675 Sets another log target to use (may be @NULL).
677 The log target specified in the wxLogChain(wxLog*) constructor or in a
678 previous call to this function is deleted.
679 This doesn't change the old log target value (the one the messages are
680 forwarded to) which still remains the same as was active when wxLogChain
683 void SetLog(wxLog
* logger
);
689 @class wxLogInterposer
691 A special version of wxLogChain which uses itself as the new log target.
692 It forwards log messages to the previously installed one in addition to
693 processing them itself.
695 Unlike wxLogChain which is usually used directly as is, this class must be
696 derived from to implement wxLog::DoLog and/or wxLog::DoLogString methods.
698 wxLogInterposer destroys the previous log target in its destructor.
699 If you don't want this to happen, use wxLogInterposerTemp instead.
704 class wxLogInterposer
: public wxLogChain
708 The default constructor installs this object as the current active log target.
716 @class wxLogInterposerTemp
718 A special version of wxLogChain which uses itself as the new log target.
719 It forwards log messages to the previously installed one in addition to
720 processing them itself. Unlike wxLogInterposer, it doesn't delete the old
721 target which means it can be used to temporarily redirect log output.
723 As per wxLogInterposer, this class must be derived from to implement
724 wxLog::DoLog and/or wxLog::DoLogString methods.
729 class wxLogInterposerTemp
: public wxLogChain
733 The default constructor installs this object as the current active log target.
735 wxLogInterposerTemp();
742 This class can be used to redirect the log messages to a C++ stream.
744 Please note that this class is only available if wxWidgets was compiled with
745 the standard iostream library support (@c wxUSE_STD_IOSTREAM must be on).
750 @see wxLogStderr, wxStreamToTextRedirector
752 class wxLogStream
: public wxLog
756 Constructs a log target which sends all the log messages to the given
757 output stream. If it is @NULL, the messages are sent to @c cerr.
759 wxLogStream(std::ostream
*ostr
= NULL
);
767 This class can be used to redirect the log messages to a C file stream (not to
768 be confused with C++ streams).
770 It is the default log target for the non-GUI wxWidgets applications which
771 send all the output to @c stderr.
778 class wxLogStderr
: public wxLog
782 Constructs a log target which sends all the log messages to the given
783 @c FILE. If it is @NULL, the messages are sent to @c stderr.
785 wxLogStderr(FILE* fp
= NULL
);
793 wxLogBuffer is a very simple implementation of log sink which simply collects
794 all the logged messages in a string (except the debug messages which are output
795 in the usual way immediately as we're presumably not interested in collecting
796 them for later). The messages from different log function calls are separated
799 All the messages collected so far can be shown to the user (and the current
800 buffer cleared) by calling the overloaded wxLogBuffer::Flush method.
805 class wxLogBuffer
: public wxLog
809 The default ctor does nothing.
814 Shows all the messages collected so far to the user (using a message box in the
815 GUI applications or by printing them out to the console in text mode) and
816 clears the internal buffer.
818 virtual void Flush();
821 Returns the current buffer contains. Messages from different log function calls
822 are separated with the new lines in the buffer.
823 The buffer can be cleared by Flush() which will also show the current
824 contents to the user.
826 const wxString
& GetBuffer() const;
834 This class allows you to temporarily suspend logging. All calls to the log
835 functions during the life time of an object of this class are just ignored.
837 In particular, it can be used to suppress the log messages given by wxWidgets
838 itself but it should be noted that it is rarely the best way to cope with this
839 problem as @b all log messages are suppressed, even if they indicate a
840 completely different error than the one the programmer wanted to suppress.
842 For instance, the example of the overview:
847 // wxFile.Open() normally complains if file can't be opened, we don't want it
850 if ( !file.Open("bar") )
851 ... process error ourselves ...
852 } // ~wxLogNull called, old log sink restored
854 wxLogMessage("..."); // ok
857 would be better written as:
862 // don't try to open file if it doesn't exist, we are prepared to deal with
863 // this ourselves - but all other errors are not expected
864 if ( wxFile::Exists("bar") )
866 // gives an error message if the file couldn't be opened
900 This class represents a background log window: to be precise, it collects all
901 log messages in the log frame which it manages but also passes them on to the
902 log target which was active at the moment of its creation. This allows you, for
903 example, to show all the log messages in a frame but still continue to process
904 them normally by showing the standard log dialog.
911 class wxLogWindow
: public wxLogInterposer
915 Creates the log frame window and starts collecting the messages in it.
918 The parent window for the log frame, may be @NULL
920 The title for the log frame
922 @true to show the frame initially (default), otherwise
923 Show() must be called later.
925 @true to process the log messages normally in addition to logging them
926 in the log frame (default), @false to only log them in the log frame.
927 Note that if no targets were set using wxLog::SetActiveTarget() then
928 wxLogWindow simply becomes the active one and messages won't be passed
931 wxLogWindow(wxWindow
* pParent
, const wxString
& szTitle
, bool show
= true,
932 bool passToOld
= true);
935 Returns the associated log frame window. This may be used to position or resize
936 it but use Show() to show or hide it.
938 wxFrame
* GetFrame() const;
941 Called if the user closes the window interactively, will not be
942 called if it is destroyed for another reason (such as when program
945 Return @true from here to allow the frame to close, @false to
946 prevent this from happening.
950 virtual bool OnFrameClose(wxFrame
* frame
);
953 Called immediately after the log frame creation allowing for
954 any extra initializations.
956 virtual void OnFrameCreate(wxFrame
* frame
);
959 Called right before the log frame is going to be deleted: will
960 always be called unlike OnFrameClose().
962 virtual void OnFrameDelete(wxFrame
* frame
);
965 Shows or hides the frame.
967 void Show(bool show
= true);
975 This is the default log target for the GUI wxWidgets applications.
977 Please see @ref overview_log_customize for explanation of how to change the
980 An object of this class is used by default to show the log messages created
981 by using wxLogMessage(), wxLogError() and other logging functions. It
982 doesn't display the messages logged by them immediately however but
983 accumulates all messages logged during an event handler execution and then
984 shows them all at once when its Flush() method is called during the idle
985 time processing. This has the important advantage of showing only a single
986 dialog to the user even if several messages were logged because of a single
987 error as it often happens (e.g. a low level function could log a message
988 because it failed to open a file resulting in its caller logging another
989 message due to the failure of higher level operation requiring the use of
990 this file). If you need to force the display of all previously logged
991 messages immediately you can use wxLog::FlushActive() to force the dialog
994 Also notice that if an error message is logged when several informative
995 messages had been already logged before, the informative messages are
996 discarded on the assumption that they are not useful -- and may be
997 confusing and hence harmful -- any more after the error. The warning
998 and error messages are never discarded however and any informational
999 messages logged after the first error one are also kept (as they may
1000 contain information about the error recovery). You may override DoLog()
1001 method to change this behaviour.
1003 At any rate, it is possible that that several messages were accumulated
1004 before this class Flush() method is called. If this is the case, Flush()
1005 uses a custom dialog which shows the last message directly and allows the
1006 user to view the previously logged ones by expanding the "Details"
1007 wxCollapsiblePane inside it. This custom dialog also provides the buttons
1008 for copying the log messages to the clipboard and saving them to a file.
1010 However if only a single message is present when Flush() is called, just a
1011 wxMessageBox() is used to show it. This has the advantage of being closer
1012 to the native behaviour but it doesn't give the user any possibility to
1013 copy or save the message (except for the recent Windows versions where @c
1014 Ctrl-C may be pressed in the message box to copy its contents to the
1015 clipboard) so you may want to override DoShowSingleLogMessage() to
1016 customize wxLogGui -- the dialogs sample shows how to do this.
1021 class wxLogGui
: public wxLog
1025 Default constructor.
1030 Presents the accumulated log messages, if any, to the user.
1032 This method is called during the idle time and should show any messages
1033 accumulated in wxLogGui#m_aMessages field to the user.
1035 virtual void Flush();
1039 Returns the appropriate title for the dialog.
1041 The title is constructed from wxApp::GetAppDisplayName() and the
1042 severity string (e.g. "error" or "warning") appropriate for the current
1043 wxLogGui#m_bErrors and wxLogGui#m_bWarnings values.
1045 wxString
GetTitle() const;
1048 Returns wxICON_ERROR, wxICON_WARNING or wxICON_INFORMATION depending on
1049 the current maximal severity.
1051 This value is suitable to be used in the style parameter of
1052 wxMessageBox() function.
1054 int GetSeverityIcon() const;
1057 Forgets all the currently stored messages.
1059 If you override Flush() (and don't call the base class version), you
1060 must call this method to avoid messages being logged over and over
1067 All currently accumulated messages.
1069 This array may be empty if no messages were logged.
1071 @see m_aSeverity, m_aTimes
1073 wxArrayString m_aMessages
;
1076 The severities of each logged message.
1078 This array is synchronized with wxLogGui#m_aMessages, i.e. the n-th
1079 element of this array corresponds to the severity of the n-th message.
1080 The possible severity values are @c wxLOG_XXX constants, e.g.
1081 wxLOG_Error, wxLOG_Warning, wxLOG_Message etc.
1083 wxArrayInt m_aSeverity
;
1086 The time stamps of each logged message.
1088 The elements of this array are time_t values corresponding to the time
1089 when the message was logged.
1091 wxArrayLong m_aTimes
;
1094 True if there any error messages.
1099 True if there any warning messages.
1101 If both wxLogGui#m_bErrors and this member are false, there are only
1102 informational messages to be shown.
1107 True if there any messages to be shown to the user.
1109 This variable is used instead of simply checking whether
1110 wxLogGui#m_aMessages array is empty to allow blocking further calls to
1111 Flush() while a log dialog is already being shown, even if the messages
1112 array hasn't been emptied yet.
1114 bool m_bHasMessages
;
1118 Method called by Flush() to show a single log message.
1120 This function can be overridden to show the message in a different way.
1121 By default a simple wxMessageBox() call is used.
1124 The message to show (it can contain multiple lines).
1126 The suggested title for the dialog showing the message, see
1129 One of @c wxICON_XXX constants, see GetSeverityIcon().
1131 virtual void DoShowSingleLogMessage(const wxString
& message
,
1132 const wxString

,
1136 Method called by Flush() to show multiple log messages.
1138 This function can be overridden to show the messages in a different way.
1139 By default a special log dialog showing the most recent message and
1140 allowing the user to expand it to view the previously logged ones is
1144 Array of messages to show; it contains more than one element.
1146 Array of message severities containing @c wxLOG_XXX values.
1148 Array of time_t values indicating when each message was logged.
1150 The suggested title for the dialog showing the message, see
1153 One of @c wxICON_XXX constants, see GetSeverityIcon().

1165 @class wxLogTextCtrl
1167 Using these target all the log messages can be redirected to a text control.
1168 The text control must have been created with @c wxTE_MULTILINE style by the
1174 @see wxTextCtrl, wxStreamToTextRedirector
1176 class wxLogTextCtrl
: public wxLog
1180 Constructs a log target which sends all the log messages to the given text

1196 /** @addtogroup group_funcmacro_log */
1200 This function shows a message to the user in a safe way and should be safe
1201 to call even before the application has been initialized or if it is
1202 currently in some other strange state (for example, about to crash). Under
1203 Windows this function shows a message box using a native dialog instead of
1204 wxMessageBox() (which might be unsafe to call), elsewhere it simply prints
1205 the message to the standard output using the title as prefix.
1208 The title of the message box shown to the user or the prefix of the

1213 @see wxLogFatalError()
1217 void wxSafeShowMessage(const wxString

1220 Returns the error code from the last system call. This function uses
1221 @c errno on Unix platforms and @c GetLastError under Win32.
1223 @see wxSysErrorMsg(), wxLogSysError()
1227 unsigned long wxSysErrorCode();
1230 Returns the error message corresponding to the given system error code. If
1231 @a errCode is 0 (default), the last error code (as returned by
1232 wxSysErrorCode()) is used.

1242 /** @addtogroup group_funcmacro_log */
1245 Logs a message with the given wxLogLevel.
1246 E.g. using @c wxLOG_Message as first argument, this function behaves like wxLogMessage().
1250 void wxLogGeneric(wxLogLevel level
, const char* formatString
, ... );
1251 void wxVLogGeneric(wxLogLevel level
, const char* formatString
, va_list argPtr

, ... );
1263 void wxVLogMessage(const char* formatString
, va_list argPtr
);
1266 /** @addtogroup group_funcmacro_log */
1269 For verbose output. Normally, it is suppressed, but might be activated if
1270 the user wishes to know more details about the program progress (another,
1271 but possibly confusing name for the same function could be @c wxLogInfo).
1275 void wxLogVerbose(const char* formatString
, ... );
1276 void wxVLogVerbose(const char* formatString
, va_list argPtr
);
1279 /** @addtogroup group_funcmacro_log */
1282 For warnings - they are also normally shown to the user, but don't
1283 interrupt the program work.
1287 void wxLogWarning(const char* formatString
, ... );
1288 void wxVLogWarning(const char* formatString
, va_list argPtr
);
1291 /** @addtogroup group_funcmacro_log */
1294 Like wxLogError(), but also terminates the program with the exit code 3.
1295 Using @e abort() standard function also terminates the program with this

1304 /** @addtogroup group_funcmacro_log */
1307 The functions to use for error messages, i.e. the messages that must be
1308 shown to the user. The default processing is to pop up a message box to
1309 inform the user about it.
1313 void wxLogError(const char* formatString
, ... );
1314 void wxVLogError(const char* formatString
, va_list argPtr
);
1317 /** @addtogroup group_funcmacro_log */
1320 Log a message at @c wxLOG_Trace log level (see ::wxLogLevelValues enum).
1322 Notice that the use of trace masks is not recommended any more as setting
1323 the log components (please see @ref overview_log_enable) provides a way to
1324 do the same thing for log messages of any level, and not just the tracing
1327 Like wxLogDebug(), trace functions only do something in debug builds and
1328 expand to nothing in the release one. The reason for making it a separate
1329 function is that usually there are a lot of trace messages, so it might
1330 make sense to separate them from other debug messages.
1332 Trace messages can be separated into different categories; these functions in facts
1333 only log the message if the given @a mask is currently enabled in wxLog.
1334 This lets you selectively trace only some operations and not others by enabling the
1335 desired trace masks with wxLog::AddTraceMask() or by setting the
1336 @ref overview_envvars "@c WXTRACE environment variable".
1338 The predefined string trace masks used by wxWidgets are:
1341 @itemdef{ wxTRACE_MemAlloc, Trace memory allocation (new/delete) }
1342 @itemdef{ wxTRACE_Messages, Trace window messages/X callbacks }
1343 @itemdef{ wxTRACE_ResAlloc, Trace GDI resource allocation }
1344 @itemdef{ wxTRACE_RefCount, Trace various ref counting operations }
1345 @itemdef{ wxTRACE_OleCalls, Trace OLE method calls (Win32 only) }
1350 void wxLogTrace(const char* mask
, const char* formatString
, ... );
1351 void wxVLogTrace(const char* mask
, const char* formatString
, va_list argPtr
);
1354 /** @addtogroup group_funcmacro_log */
1357 Like wxLogDebug(), trace functions only do something in debug builds and
1358 expand to nothing in the release one. The reason for making it a separate
1359 function is that usually there are a lot of trace messages, so it might
1360 make sense to separate them from other debug messages.
1363 This version of wxLogTrace() only logs the message if all the bits
1364 corresponding to the @a mask are set in the wxLog trace mask which can be
1365 set by calling wxLog::SetTraceMask(). This version is less flexible than
1366 wxLogTrace(const char*,const char*,...) because it doesn't allow defining
1367 the user trace masks easily. This is why it is deprecated in favour of
1368 using string trace masks.
1370 The following bitmasks are defined for wxTraceMask:
1373 @itemdef{ wxTraceMemAlloc, Trace memory allocation (new/delete) }
1374 @itemdef{ wxTraceMessages, Trace window messages/X callbacks }
1375 @itemdef{ wxTraceResAlloc, Trace GDI resource allocation }
1376 @itemdef{ wxTraceRefCount, Trace various ref counting operations }
1377 @itemdef{ wxTraceOleCalls, Trace OLE method calls (Win32 only) }
1382 void wxLogTrace(wxTraceMask mask
, const char* formatString
, ... );
1383 void wxVLogTrace(wxTraceMask mask
, const char* formatString
, va_list argPtr
);
1386 /** @addtogroup group_funcmacro_log */
1389 The right functions for debug output. They only do something in debug mode
1390 (when the preprocessor symbol @c __WXDEBUG__ is defined) and expand to
1391 nothing in release mode (otherwise).
1395 void wxLogDebug(const char* formatString
, ... );
1396 void wxVLogDebug(const char* formatString
, va_list argPtr
);
1399 /** @addtogroup group_funcmacro_log */
1402 Messages logged by this function will appear in the statusbar of the
1403 @a frame or of the top level application window by default (i.e. when using
1404 the second version of the functions).
1406 If the target frame doesn't have a statusbar, the message will be lost.
1410 void wxLogStatus(wxFrame
* frame
, const char* formatString
, ... );
1411 void wxVLogStatus(wxFrame
* frame
, const char* formatString
, va_list argPtr

1419 Mostly used by wxWidgets itself, but might be handy for logging errors
1420 after system call (API function) failure. It logs the specified message
1421 text as well as the last system error code (@e errno or @e GetLastError()
1422 depending on the platform) and the corresponding error message. The second
1423 form of this function takes the error code explicitly as the first
