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,
-\helpref{DontCreateOnDemand()}{wxlogdontcreateondemand}
-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}\label{loggingfunctions}
+
+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.
+This function doesn't do anything if the buffer is already empty.

\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
+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
// 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
+will do something only if the current trace mask contains both
{\tt wxTraceRefCount} and {\tt wxTraceOle}, but

only.
-The standard trace masks are given in \helpref{wxLogTrace}{wxlogtrace}
+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
-any string with \% specificators fully described in the documentation of the
+any string with \% specifications fully described in the documentation of the
standard {\it 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

default because otherwise it would be impossible to directly go to the line

+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 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
+...
+
+// don't delete logChain directly as this would leave a dangling
+// pointer as active log target, use SetActiveTarget() instead
+delete wxLog::SetActiveTarget(...something else or NULL...);

+\membersection{wxLogChain::wxLogChain}\label{wxlogchainctor}
+
+\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}}\label{wxlogchaindtor}
+
+\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}{wxlogchainctor} or in a previous call to
+this function is deleted.
+
+This doesn't change the old log target value (the one the messages are

+
+This is the default log target for the GUI wxWidgets applications. It is passed

+%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 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 wxWidgets
+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");
+ }

+forwards the log messages to the previously installed one in addition to
+processing them itself.
+
+Unlike \helpref{wxLogChain}{wxlogchain} which is usually used directly as is,
