The functions below allow some limited customization of wxLog behaviour
without writing a new log target class (which, aside of being a matter of
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 wxLogVerbose. They
+ release mode and are generated by 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) @e trace mask. There are two ways to specify it:
either by using SetTraceMask() and
GetTraceMask() and using
- wxLogTrace which takes an integer mask or by using
+ wxLogTrace() which takes an integer mask or by using
AddTraceMask() 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,
+
will do something only if the current trace mask contains both
@c wxTraceRefCount and @c wxTraceOle, but
+
will log the message if it was preceded by
+
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 wxLogTrace
+ The standard trace masks are given in wxLogTrace()
documentation.
-
Finally, the @e wxLog::DoLog() function automatically prepends a time stamp
to all the messages. The format of the time stamp may be changed: it can be
any string with % specifications fully described in the documentation of the
"[%d/%b/%y %H:%M:%S] " which gives something like "[17/Sep/98 22:10:16] "
(without quotes) for the current date. Setting an empty string as the time
format disables timestamping of the messages completely.
-
- @b 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
SetTimestamp() explicitly.
