See @ref overview_wxlogoverview "log overview" for the descriptions of wxWidgets
logging facilities.
@section overview_wxLog_Trace_Masks 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 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
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,
@begincode
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
@begincode
wxLogTrace( wxTRACE_OleCalls, "IFoo::Bar() called" );
@endcode
will log the message if it was preceded by
@begincode
wxLog::AddTraceMask( wxTRACE_OleCalls);
@endcode
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() 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.
@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. See also

@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
