@class wxLogGui
- This is the default log target for the GUI wxWidgets applications. It is passed
- to wxLog::SetActiveTarget at the program
- startup and is deleted by wxWidgets during the program shut down.
+ This is the default log target for the GUI wxWidgets applications.
+
+ Please see @ref overview_log_customize for explanation of how to change the
+ default log target.
+
+ An object of this class is used by default to show the log messages created
+ by using wxLogMessage(), wxLogError() and other logging functions. It
+ doesn't display the messages logged by them immediately however but
+ accumulates all messages logged during an event handler execution and then
+ shows them all at once when its Flush() method is called during the idle
+ time processing. This has the important advantage of showing only a single
+ dialog to the user even if several messages were logged because of a single
+ error as it often happens (e.g. a low level function could log a message
+ because it failed to open a file resulting in its caller logging another
+ message due to the failure of higher level operation requiring the use of
+ this file). If you need to force the display of all previously logged
+ messages immediately you can use wxLog::FlushActive() to force the dialog
+ display.
+
+ Also notice that if an error message is logged when several informative
+ messages had been already logged before, the informative messages are
+ discarded on the assumption that they are not useful -- and may be
+ confusing and hence harmful -- any more after the error. The warning
+ and error messages are never discarded however and any informational
+ messages logged after the first error one are also kept (as they may
+ contain information about the error recovery). You may override DoLog()
+ method to change this behaviour.
+
+ At any rate, it is possible that that several messages were accumulated
+ before this class Flush() method is called. If this is the case, Flush()
+ uses a custom dialog which shows the last message directly and allows the
+ user to view the previously logged ones by expanding the "Details"
+ wxCollapsiblePane inside it. This custom dialog also provides the buttons
+ for copying the log messages to the clipboard and saving them to a file.
+
+ However if only a single message is present when Flush() is called, just a
+ wxMessageBox() is used to show it. This has the advantage of being closer
+ to the native behaviour but it doesn't give the user any possibility to
+ copy or save the message (except for the recent Windows versions where @c
+ Ctrl-C may be pressed in the message box to copy its contents to the
+ clipboard) so you may want to override DoShowSingleMessage() to customize
+ wxLogGui -- the dialogs sample shows how to do this.
