\membersection{Static functions}
The functions in this section work with and manipulate the active log target.
-The {\it OnLog()} is called by the {\it wxLogXXX()} functions and invokes the
-{\it DoLog()} of the active log target if any. Get/Set methods are used to
-install/query the current active target and, finally, {\it
-DontCreateOnDemand()} disables the automatic creation of a standard log target
-if none actually exists. It is only useful when the application is terminating
-and shouldn't be used in other situations because it may easily lead to a loss
-of messages.

-\membersection{Message buffering}
-
-Some of wxLog implementations, most notably the standard
-wxLogGui class, buffer the messages (for example, to avoid
-showing the user a zillion of modal message boxes one after another - which
-would be really annoying). {\it Flush()} shows them all and clears the buffer
-contents. Although this function doesn't do anything if the buffer is already
-empty, {\it HasPendingMessages()} is also provided which allows to explicitly
-verify it.

+\membersection{Logging functions}
+
+There are two functions which must be implemented by any derived class to
+actually process the log messages: \helpref{DoLog}{wxlogdolog} and
+\helpref{DoLogString}{wxlogdologstring}. The second function receives a string
+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
+over the output format is needed, then the first function must be overridden
+which allows to construct custom messages depending on the log level or even
+do completely different things depending on the message severity (for example,
+throw away all messages except warnings and errors, show warnings on the
+screen and forward the error messages to the user's (or programmer's) cell
+phone - maybe depending on whether the timestamp tells us if it is day or
+night in the current time zone).
+
+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
+message boxes one after another - which would be really annoying).
+\helpref{Flush()}{wxlogflush} shows them all and clears the buffer contents.
+Although this function doesn't do anything if the buffer is already empty,
+\helpref{HasPendingMessages()}{wxloghaspendingmessages} is also provided which
+allows to explicitly verify it.

several minutes, allows you to do anything you want).
The verbose messages are the trace messages which are not disabled in the
-release mode and are generated by {\it wxLogVerbose()}. They are not normally
-shown to the user because they present little interest, but may be activated,
-for example, in order to help the user find some program problem.
-
-As for the (real) trace messages, they come in different kinds:
-
-\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
-\item{wxTraceMemAlloc} for the messages about creating and deleting objects
-\item{wxTraceMessages} for tracing the windowing system messages/events
-\item{wxTraceResAlloc} for allocating and releasing the system ressources
-\item{wxTraceRefCount} for reference counting related messages
-\item{wxTraceOleCalls} for the OLE (or COM) method invocations (wxMSW only)
-\item{other} the remaining bits are free for user-defined trace levels
-\end{itemize}
-
-The trace mask is a bit mask which tells which (if any) of these trace
-messages are going to be actually logged. For the trace message to appear
-somewhere, all the bits in the mask used in the call to {\it wxLogTrace()}
-function must be set in the current trace mask. For example,
+release mode and are generated by \helpref{wxLogVerbose}{wxlogverbose}. They
+are not normally shown to the user because they present little interest, but
+may be activated, for example, in order to help the user find some program
+problem.
+
+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{AddTraceMask}{wxlogaddtracemask} for string trace masks.
+
+The difference between bit-wise and string trace masks is that a message using
+integer trace mask will only be logged if all bits of the mask are set in the
+current mask while a message using string mask will be logged simply if the
+mask had been added before to the list of allowed ones.
+
+For example,
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+// wxTraceOleCalls is one of standard bit masks
+wxLogTrace(wxTraceRefCount | wxTraceOleCalls, "Active object ref count: %d", nRef);
+\end{verbatim}
+will do something only if the current trace mask contains both
+{\tt wxTraceRefCount} and {\tt wxTraceOle}, but
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+// wxTRACE_OleCalls is one of standard string masks
+wxLogTrace(wxTRACE_OleCalls, "IFoo::Bar() called");
+\end{verbatim}
+
+will log the message if it was preceded by
+
\begin{verbatim}
-wxLogTrace(wxTraceRefCount | wxTraceOle, "Active object ref count: %d", nRef);
+wxLog::AddTraceMask(wxTRACE_OleCalls);
\end{verbatim}
-will do something only if the current trace mask contains both wxTraceRefCount
-and wxTraceOle.
+
+Using string masks is simpler and allows to easily add custom ones, so this is
+the preferred way of working with trace messages. The integer trace mask is
+kept for compatibility and for additional (but very rarely needed) flexibility
+only.
+
+The standard trace masks are given in \helpref{wxLogTrace}{wxlogtrace}
+documentation.
Finally, the {\it wxLog::DoLog()} function automatically prepends a time stamp
to all the messages. The format of the time stamp may be changed: it can be
(without quotes) for the current date. Setting an empty string as the time
format disables timestamping of the messages completely.
+{\bf NB:} Timestamping is disabled for Visual C++ users in debug builds by
+default because otherwise it would be impossible to directly go to the line
+from which the log message was generated by simply clicking in the debugger
+window on the corresponding error message. If you wish to enable it, please use
+\helpref{SetTimestamp}{wxlogsettimestamp} explicitly.

\membersection{wxLog::OnLog}\label{wxlogonlog}
\func{static void}{OnLog}{\param{wxLogLevel }{ level}, \param{const char * }{ message}}
Sets the specified log target as the active one. Returns the pointer to the
previous active log target (may be NULL).
+\membersection{wxLog::Suspend}\label{wxlogsuspend}
+
+\func{static void}{Suspend}{\void}
+
+Suspends the logging until \helpref{Resume}{wxlogresume} is called. Note that
+the latter must be called the same number of times as the former to undo it,
+i.e. if you call Suspend() twice you must call Resume() twice as well.
+
+Note that suspending the logging means that the log sink won't be be flushed
+periodically, it doesn't have any effect if the current log target does the
+logging immediately without waiting for \helpref{Flush}{wxlogflush} to be
+called (the standard GUI log target only shows the log dialog when it is
+flushed, so Suspend() works as expected with it).
+
+\wxheading{See also:}
+
+\helpref{Resume}{wxlogresume},\\
+\helpref{wxLogNull}{wxlogoverview}
+
+\membersection{wxLog::Resume}\label{wxlogresume}
+
+\func{static void}{Resume}{\void}
+
+Resumes logging previously suspended by a call to
+\helpref{Suspend}{wxlogsuspend}. All messages logged in the meanwhile will be
+flushed soon.
+
+\membersection{wxLog::DoLog}\label{wxlogdolog}
+
+\func{virtual void}{DoLog}{\param{wxLogLevel }{level}, \param{const wxChar }{*msg}, \param{time\_t }{timestamp}}
+
+Called to process the message of the specified severity. {\it msg} is the text
+of the message as specified in the call of {\it wxLogXXX()} function which
+generated it and {\it timestamp} is the moment when the message was generated.
+
+The base class version prepends the timestamp to the message, adds a prefix
+corresponding to the log level and then calls
+\helpref{DoLogString}{wxlogdologstring} with the resulting string.
+
+\membersection{wxLog::DoLogString}\label{wxlogdologstring}
+
+\func{virtual void}{DoLogString}{\param{const wxChar }{*msg}, \param{time\_t }{timestamp}}
+
+Called to log the specified string. The timestamp is already included into the
+string but still passed to this function.
+
+A simple implementation may just send the string to {\tt stdout} or, better,
+{\tt stderr}.
+
\membersection{wxLog::DontCreateOnDemand}\label{wxlogdontcreateondemand}
\func{static void}{DontCreateOnDemand}{\void}
Instructs wxLog to not create new log targets on the fly if there is none
-currently. (Almost) for internal use only.

+application shutdown code.
+
+Note that this function also calls
+\helpref{ClearTraceMasks}{wxlogcleartracemasks}.

\membersection{wxLog::SetVerbose}\label{wxlogsetverbose}
-\func{void}{SetVerbose}{\param{bool }{ verbose = TRUE}}
+\func{static void}{SetVerbose}{\param{bool }{ verbose = TRUE}}
Activates or desactivates verbose mode in which the verbose messages are
logged as the normal ones instead of being silently dropped.
\membersection{wxLog::GetVerbose}\label{wxloggetverbose}
-\constfunc{bool}{GetVerbose}{\void}
+\func{static bool}{GetVerbose}{\void}
Returns whether the verbose mode is currently active.
-\membersection{wxLog::SetTimeStampFormat}\label{wxlogsettimestampformat}
+\membersection{wxLog::SetTimestamp}\label{wxlogsettimestamp}
-\func{void}{SetTimeStampFormat}{\param{const char * }{ format}}
+\func{void}{SetTimestamp}{\param{const char * }{ format}}
Sets the timestamp format prepended by the default log targets to all
messages. The string may contain any normal characters as well as \%
prefixed format specificators, see {\it strftime()} manual for details.
-Passing an empty string to this function disables message timestamping.
+Passing a NULL value (not empty string) to this function disables message timestamping.

+\membersection{wxLog::GetTimestamp}\label{wxloggettimestamp}
-\constfunc{const char *}{GetTimeStampFormat}{\void}
+\constfunc{const char *}{GetTimestamp}{\void}
Returns the current timestamp format string.

+
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% wxLogChain %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+
+\section{\class{wxLogChain}}\label{wxlogchain}
+
+This simple class allows to chain log sinks, that is to install a new sink but
+keep passing log messages to the old one instead of replacing it completely as
+\helpref{SetActiveTarget}{wxlogsetactivetarget} does.
+
+It is especially useful when you want to divert the logs somewhere (for
+example to a file or a log window) but also keep showing the error messages
+using the standard dialogs as \helpref{wxLogGui}{wxlogoverview} does by default.
+
+Example of usage:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+wxLogChain *logChain = new wxLogChain(new wxLogStderr);
+
+// all the log messages are sent to stderr and also processed as usually
+...
+
+delete logChain;
+
+\end{verbatim}
+

+
+\helpref{wxLog}{wxlog}
+
+\wxheading{Include files}
+
+<wx/log.h>
+
+\latexignore{\rtfignore{\wxheading{Members}}}
+
+\membersection{wxLogChain::wxLogChain}\label{wxlogchainwxlogchain}
+
+\func{}{wxLogChain}{\param{wxLog *}{logger}}
+
+Sets the specified {\tt logger} (which may be {\tt NULL}) as the default log
+target but the log messages are also passed to the previous log target if any.
+
+\membersection{wxLogChain::\destruct{wxLogChain}}
+
+\func{}{\destruct{wxLogChain}}{\void}
+
+Destroys the previous log target.
+
+\membersection{wxLogChain::GetOldLog}\label{wxlogchaingetoldlog}
+
+\constfunc{wxLog *}{GetOldLog}{\void}
+
+Returns the pointer to the previously active log target (which may be {\tt
+NULL}).
+
+\membersection{wxLogChain::IsPassingMessages}\label{wxlogchainispassingmessages}
+
+\constfunc{bool}{IsPassingMessages}{\void}
+
+Returns {\tt TRUE} if the messages are passed to the previously active log
+target (default) or {\tt FALSE} if \helpref{PassMessages}{wxlogchainpassmessages}
+had been called.
+
+\membersection{wxLogChain::PassMessages}\label{wxlogchainpassmessages}
+
+\func{void}{PassMessages}{\param{bool }{passMessages}}
+
+By default, the log messages are passed to the previously active log target.
+Calling this function with {\tt FALSE} parameter disables this behaviour
+(presumably temporarily, as you shouldn't use wxLogChain at all otherwise) and
+it can be reenabled by calling it again with {\it passMessages} set to {\tt
+TRUE}.
+
+\membersection{wxLogChain::SetLog}\label{wxlogchainsetlog}
+
+\func{void}{SetLog}{\param{wxLog *}{logger}}
+
+Sets another log target to use (may be {\tt NULL}). The log target specified
+in the \helpref{constructor}{wxlogchainwxlogchain} or in a previous call to
+this function is deleted.
+
+This doesn't change the old log target value (the one the messages are
+forwarded to) which still remains the same as was active when wxLogChain
+object was created.
+
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% wxLogGui %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+
+\section{\class{wxLogGui}}\label{wxloggui}
+
+This is the default log target for the GUI wxWindows applications. It is passed
+to \helpref{wxLog::SetActiveTarget}{wxlogsetactivetarget} at the program
+startup and is deleted by wxWindows during the program shut down.

+
+Default constructor.
+
+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% wxLogNull %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
+
+\section{\class{wxLogNull}}\label{wxlognull}
+
+This class allows to temporarily suspend logging. All calls to the log
+functions during the life time of an object of this class are just ignored.
+
+In particular, it can be used to suppress the log messages given by wxWindows
+itself but it should be noted that it is rarely the best way to cope with this
+problem as {\bf all} log messages are suppressed, even if they indicate a
+completely different error than the one the programmer wanted to suppress.
+
+For instance, the example of the overview:
+
+{\small
+\begin{verbatim}
+ wxFile file;
+
+ // wxFile.Open() normally complains if file can't be opened, we don't want it
+ {
+ wxLogNull logNo;
+ if ( !file.Open("bar") )
+ ... process error ourselves ...
+ } // ~wxLogNull called, old log sink restored
+
+ wxLogMessage("..."); // ok
+\end{verbatim}
+}
+
+would be better written as:
+
+{\small
+\begin{verbatim}
+ wxFile file;
+
+ // don't try to open file if it doesn't exist, we are prepared to deal with
+ // this ourselves - but all other errors are not expected
+ if ( wxFile::Exists("bar") )
+ {
+ // gives an error message if the file couldn't be opened
+ file.Open("bar");
+ }
+ else
+ {
+ ...
+ }

+
+\section{\class{wxLogWindow}}\label{wxlogwindow}
+
+This class represents a background log window: to be precise, it collects all
+log messages in the log frame which it manages but also passes them on to the
+log target which was active at the moment of its creation. This allows, for
+example, to show all the log messages in a frame but still continue to process
