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

+/**
+    @class wxLogFormatter

 
 

+    wxLogFormatter class is used to format the log messages. It implements the
+    default formatting and can be derived from to create custom formatters.

 
 

-/**
-    @class wxLogInterposerTemp
+    The default implementation formats the message into a string containing
+    the time stamp, level-dependent prefix and the message itself.

 
 

-    A special version of wxLogChain which uses itself as the
-    new log target. It forwards log messages to the previously installed one in
-    addition to
-    processing them itself. Unlike wxLogInterposer, it doesn't
-    delete the old target which means it can be used to temporarily redirect log
-    output.
+    To change it, you can derive from it and override its Format() method. For
+    example, to include the thread id in the log messages you can use
+    @code
+        class LogFormatterWithThread : public wxLogFormatter
+        {
+            virtual wxString Format(wxLogLevel level,
+                                    const wxString& msg,
+                                    const wxLogRecordInfo& info) const
+            {
+                return wxString::Format("[%d] %s(%d) : %s",
+                    info.threadId, info.filename, info.line, msg);
+            }
+        };
+    @endcode
+    And then associate it with wxLog instance using its SetFormatter(). Then,
+    if you call:

 
 

-    As per wxLogInterposer, this class must be derived from to implement
-    wxLog::DoLog
-    and/or wxLog::DoLogString methods.
+    @code
+        wxLogMessage(_("*** Application started ***"));
+    @endcode
+
+    the log output could be something like:
+
+    @verbatim
+        [7872] d:\testApp\src\testApp.cpp(85) : *** Application started ***
+    @endverbatim

-    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.
+    /**
+        Sets the specified log target as the active one.

 
 

-    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.
+        Returns the pointer to the previous active log target (may be @NULL).
+        To suppress logging use a new instance of wxLogNull not @NULL.  If the
+        active log target is set to @NULL a new default log target will be
+        created when logging occurs.

 
 

-    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.
+        @see SetThreadActiveTarget()
+    */
+    static wxLog* SetActiveTarget(wxLog* logtarget);

 
 

-    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.

-    @class wxLog
-
-    wxLog class defines the interface for the @e log targets used by wxWidgets
-    logging functions as explained in the @ref overview_log.
-    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
-    needs. Another case is if you wish to customize the behaviour of the standard
-    logging classes (all of which respect the wxLog settings): for example, set
-    which trace messages are logged and which are not or change (or even remove
-    completely) the timestamp on the messages.
-
-    Otherwise, it is completely hidden behind the @e wxLogXXX() functions and
-    you may not even know about its existence.
-
-     @section overview_wxLog_deriving Deriving your own log target
-
-        There are two functions which must be implemented by any derived class to
-        actually process the log messages: DoLog() and
-        DoLogString(). 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).
-        Flush() shows them all and clears the buffer contents.
-        This function doesn't do anything if the buffer is already empty.
-        See also:
-        @li Flush()
-        @li FlushActive()
-
-     @section overview_wxLog_Trace_Masks Using trace masks
-
-        The functions below allow some limited customization of wxLog behaviour
-        without writing a new log target class (which, aside from 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
-        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 which can either be specified using
-        SetTraceMask(), GetTraceMask() and wxLogTrace() which takes an integer mask
-        or 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,
-
-        @code
-        wxLogTrace( wxTraceRefCount|wxTraceOleCalls, "Active object ref count: %d", nRef );
-        @endcode
-
-        will do something only if the current trace mask contains both
-        @c wxTraceRefCount and @c wxTraceOle, but
-
-        @code
-        wxLogTrace( wxTRACE_OleCalls, "IFoo::Bar() called" );
-        @endcode
-
-        will log the message if it was preceded by
-
-        @code
-        wxLog::AddTraceMask( wxTRACE_OleCalls);
-        @endcode
+    @class wxLogWindow

 
 

-        Using string masks is simpler and allows you 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() 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
-        standard @e strftime() function. For example, the default format is
-        "[%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.

-        @li GetRepetitionCounting()
-
-        @note 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.
-
-     @section overview_wxLog_Target Manipulating the log target
-
-        The functions in this section work with and manipulate the active log
-        target. The OnLog() is called by the @e wxLogXXX() functions
-        and invokes the DoLog() of the active log target if any.
-        Get/Set methods are used to install/query the current active target and,
-        finally, 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. See also
-        @li OnLog()
-        @li GetActiveTarget()
-        @li SetActiveTarget()
-        @li DontCreateOnDemand()
-        @li Suspend()
-        @li Resume()
+    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 you, for
+    example, to show all the log messages in a frame but still continue to process
+    them normally by showing the standard log dialog.

+
+    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.

+    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 DoShowSingleLogMessage() to
