}}\label{wxlog
}
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.
23 Otherwise, it is completely hidden behind the
{\it wxLogXXX()
} functions and
24 you may not even know about its existence.
26 See
\helpref{log overview
}{wxlogoverview
} for the descriptions of wxWindows

}
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
}
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).
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.

83 \helpref{HasPendingMessages

85 \membersection{Customization
}\label{wxlogcustomization
}
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).
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
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.
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.
112 // wxTraceOleCalls is one of standard bit masks
113 wxLogTrace(wxTraceRefCount | wxTraceOleCalls, "Active object ref count:
%d", nRef);
115 will do something only if the current trace mask contains both
116 {\tt wxTraceRefCount
} and
{\tt wxTraceOle
}, but
119 // wxTRACE_OleCalls is one of standard string masks
120 wxLogTrace(wxTRACE_OleCalls, "IFoo::Bar() called");
123 will log the message if it was preceded by
126 wxLog::AddTraceMask(wxTRACE_OleCalls);
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
134 The standard trace masks are given in
\helpref{wxLogTrace
}{wxlogtrace
}
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.
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.

211 Suspends the logging until

212 the latter must be called the same number of times as the former to undo it,
213 i.e. if you call Suspend() twice you must call Resume() twice as well.
215 Note that suspending the logging means that the log sink won't be be flushed
216 periodically, it doesn't have any effect if the current log target does the
217 logging immediately without waiting for
\helpref{Flush
}{wxlogflush
} to be
218 called (the standard GUI log target only shows the log dialog when it is
219 flushed, so Suspend() works as expected with it).

238 Called to process the message of the specified severity.
{\it msg
} is the text
239 of the message as specified in the call of
{\it wxLogXXX()
} function which
240 generated it and
{\it timestamp
} is the moment when the message was generated.
242 The base class version prepends the timestamp to the message, adds a prefix
243 corresponding to the log level and then calls

250 Called to log the specified string. The timestamp is already included into the
251 string but still passed to this function.
253 A simple implementation may just send the string to

258 \func{static void
}{DontCreateOnDemand

260 Instructs wxLog to not create new log targets on the fly if there is none
261 currently. (Almost) for internal use only: it is supposed to be called by the
262 application shutdown code.

308 Sets the timestamp format prepended by the default log targets to all
309 messages. The string may contain any normal characters as well as \%
310 prefixed format specificators, see

352 \section{\class{wxLogChain

354 This simple class allows to chain log sinks, that is to install a new sink but
355 keep passing log messages to the old one instead of replacing it completely as
356 \helpref{SetActiveTarget
}{wxlogsetactivetarget
} does.
358 It is especially useful when you want to divert the logs somewhere (for
359 example to a file or a log window) but also keep showing the error messages
360 using the standard dialogs as
\helpref{wxLogGui
}{wxlogoverview
} does by default.

388 Sets the specified
{\tt logger
} (which may be
{\tt NULL

389 target but the log messages are also passed to the previous log target if any.

}
412 \membersection{wxLogChain::PassMessages
}\label{wxlogchainpassmessages
}
414 \func{void
}{PassMessages
}{\param{bool
}{passMessages
}}
416 By default, the log messages are passed to the previously active log target.
417 Calling this function with
{\tt FALSE
} parameter disables this behaviour
418 (presumably temporarily, as you shouldn't use wxLogChain at all otherwise) and
419 it can be reenabled by calling it again with

{\tt NULL
}). The log target specified
427 in the
\helpref{constructor
}{wxlogchainwxlogchain
} or in a previous call to
428 this function is deleted.
430 This doesn't change the old log target value (the one the messages are
431 forwarded to) which still remains the same as was active when wxLogChain

438 This is the default log target for the GUI wxWindows applications. It is passed
439 to

462 This class allows to temporarily suspend logging. All calls to the log
463 functions during the life time of an object of this class are just ignored.
465 In particular, it can be used to suppress the log messages given by wxWindows
466 itself but it should be noted that it is rarely the best way to cope with this
467 problem as
{\bf all
} log messages are suppressed, even if they indicate a
468 completely different error than the one the programmer wanted to suppress.
470 For instance, the example of the overview:
476 // wxFile.Open() normally complains if file can't be opened, we don't want it
479 if ( !file.Open("bar") )
480 ... process error ourselves ...
481 } // ~wxLogNull called, old log sink restored
483 wxLogMessage("..."); // ok
487 would be better written as:
493 // don't try to open file if it doesn't exist, we are prepared to deal with
494 // this ourselves - but all other errors are not expected

650 log target which was active at the moment of its creation. This allows, for
651 example, to show all the log messages in a frame but still continue to process
652 them normally by showing the standard log dialog.
