logging functions as explained in the \helpref{wxLog overview}{wxlogoverview}.
The only situations when you need to directly use this class is when you want
to derive your own log target because the existing ones don't satisfy your

you may not even know about its existence.

There are two functions which must be implemented by any derived class to
-actually process the log messages: \helpref{DoLog}{wxlogdolog} and

which just has to be output in some way and the easiest way to write a new log
target is to override just this function in the derived class. If more control
There also functions to support message buffering. Why are they needed?
Some of wxLog implementations, most notably the standard wxLogGui class,
buffer the messages (for example, to avoid showing the user a zillion of modal

\helpref{Flush()}{wxlogflush} shows them all and clears the buffer contents.

-\helpref{HasPendingMessages()}{wxloghaspendingmessages} is also provided which

\membersection{Customization}\label{wxlogcustomization}
As for the (real) trace messages, their handling depends on the settings of
the (application global) {\it trace mask}. There are two ways to specify it:
-either by using \helpref{SetTraceMask}{wxlogsettracemask} and
-\helpref{GetTraceMask}{wxloggettracemask} and using
-\helpref{wxLogTrace}{wxlogtrace} which takes an integer mask or by using

+\helpref{wxLogTrace}{wxlogtrace} which takes an integer mask or by using
\helpref{AddTraceMask}{wxlogaddtracemask} for string trace masks.
The difference between bit-wise and string trace masks is that a message using
// wxTraceOleCalls is one of standard bit masks
wxLogTrace(wxTraceRefCount | wxTraceOleCalls, "Active object ref count: %d", nRef);
