+ @class wxLogFormatter
- 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.
+ wxLogFormatter class is used to format the log messages. It implements the
+ default formatting and can be derived from to create custom formatters.
+
+ The default implementation formats the message into a string containing
+ the time stamp, level-dependent prefix and the message itself.
+
+ 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:
+
+ @code
+ wxLogMessage(_("*** Application started ***"));
+ @endcode
+
+ the log output could be something like:
+
+ @verbatim
+ [7872] d:\testApp\src\testApp.cpp(85) : *** Application started ***

- 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.
+ (Almost) for internal use only: it is supposed to be called by the
+ application shutdown code (where you don't want the log target to be
+ automatically created anymore).
- 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.

- wxCollapsiblePane inside it. This custom dialog also provides the buttons
- for copying the log messages to the clipboard and saving them to a file.

- wxLogGui -- the dialogs sample shows how to do this.

+ */
+ //@{
- 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.
+ /**
+ Called to log a new record.
- Otherwise, it is completely hidden behind the @e wxLogXXX() functions and
- you may not even know about its existence.
+ Any log message created by wxLogXXX() functions is passed to this
+ method of the active log target. The default implementation prepends
+ the timestamp and, for some log levels (e.g. error and warning), the
+ corresponding prefix to @a msg and passes it to DoLogTextAtLevel().
- @note For console-mode applications, the default target is wxLogStderr, so
- that all @e wxLogXXX() functions print on @c stderr when @c wxUSE_GUI = 0.
+ You may override this method to implement custom formatting of the
+ log messages or to implement custom filtering of log messages (e.g. you
+ could discard all log messages coming from the given source file).
+ */
+ virtual void DoLogRecord(wxLogLevel level,
+ const wxString& msg,
+ const wxLogRecordInfo& info);
+ /**
+ Called to log the specified string at given level.
- @section log_derivingyours Deriving your own log target
+ The base class versions logs debug and trace messages on the system
+ default debug output channel and passes all the other messages to
+ DoLogText().
+ */
+ virtual void DoLogTextAtLevel(wxLogLevel level, const wxString& msg);
- There are several methods which may be overridden in the derived class to
- customize log messages handling: DoLogRecord(), DoLogTextAtLevel() and
- DoLogText().
+ /**
+ Called to log the specified string.
- The last method is the simplest one: you should override it if you simply
- want to redirect the log output elsewhere, without taking into account the
- level of the message. If you do want to handle messages of different levels
- differently, then you should override DoLogTextAtLevel().
+ A simple implementation might just send the string to @c stdout or
+ @c stderr or save it in a file (of course, the already existing
+ wxLogStderr can be used for this).
- Finally, if more control over the output format is needed, then the first
- function must be overridden as it 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).
+ The base class version of this function asserts so it must be
+ overridden if you don't override DoLogRecord() or DoLogTextAtLevel().
+ */
+ virtual void DoLogText(const wxString& msg);
- 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 FlushActive()
+/**
+ @class wxLogChain
- @section log_tracemasks Using trace masks
+ This simple class allows you 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
+ wxLog::SetActiveTarget does.
- 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.
+ 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 wxLogGui does by default.
- As for the (real) trace messages, their handling depends on the currently
- enabled trace masks: if AddTraceMask() was called for the mask of the given
- message, it will be logged, otherwise nothing happens.
+ Example of usage:
- For example,
@code
- wxLogTrace( wxTRACE_OleCalls, "IFoo::Bar() called" );
- @endcode
+ wxLogChain *logChain = new wxLogChain(new wxLogStderr);
- will log the message if it was preceded by:
+ // all the log messages are sent to stderr and also processed as usually
+ ...
- @code
- wxLog::AddTraceMask( wxTRACE_OleCalls);
+ // 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...);
@endcode
- 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 or calling the shortcut wxLog::DisableTimestamp(), disables timestamping
- of the messages completely.

- use SetTimestamp() explicitly.

- @section log_target Manipulating the log target
-
- The functions in this section work with and manipulate the active log
- target.
-
- 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.

+
+ 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 DoShowSingleLogMessage() to
+ customize wxLogGui -- the dialogs sample shows how to do this.
