There are two functions which must be implemented by any derived class to
-actually process the log messages: \helpref{DoLog}{wxlogdolog} and
+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
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

\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
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
// wxTraceOleCalls is one of standard bit masks
