    example to a file or a log window) but also keep showing the error messages
    using the standard dialogs as wxLogGui does by default.

    @code
    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

    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.

        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. There are two ways to specify it:
        either by using SetTraceMask() and
        GetTraceMask() and using
        wxLogTrace() which takes an integer mask or by 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,

        will do something only if the current trace mask contains both
        @c wxTraceRefCount and @c wxTraceOle, but

        will log the message if it was preceded by

        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.

/**
    @class wxLogNull
    @wxheader{log.h}

    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 @b 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:

    @code
    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
    @endcode

    would be better written as:

    @code
    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

    function is that usually there are a lot of trace messages, so it might
    make sense to separate them from other debug messages.

    In this version of wxLogTrace(), trace messages can be separated into
    different categories and calls using this function only log the message if
    the given @a mask is currently enabled in wxLog. This lets you selectively
    trace only some operations and not others by enabling the desired trace
    masks with wxLog::AddTraceMask() or by setting the
    @ref overview_envvars "@c WXTRACE environment variable".

    The predefined string trace masks used by wxWidgets are:

    @beginDefList
    @itemdef{ wxTRACE_MemAlloc, Trace memory allocation (new/delete) }
    @itemdef{ wxTRACE_Messages, Trace window messages/X callbacks }
    @itemdef{ wxTRACE_ResAlloc, Trace GDI resource allocation }
    @itemdef{ wxTRACE_RefCount, Trace various ref counting operations }
    @itemdef{ wxTRACE_OleCalls, Trace OLE method calls (Win32 only) }
    @endDefList

    @note Since both the mask and the format string are strings, this might
          lead to function signature confusion in some cases: if you intend to
          call the format string only version of wxLogTrace(), add a "%s"
          format string parameter and then supply a second string parameter for
          that "%s", the string mask version of wxLogTrace() will erroneously
          get called instead, since you are supplying two string parameters to
          the function. In this case you'll unfortunately have to avoid having
          two leading string parameters, e.g. by adding a bogus integer (with
          its "%d" format string).

    This version of wxLogTrace() only logs the message if all the bits
    corresponding to the @a mask are set in the wxLog trace mask which can be

    wxLogDebug(const char*,const char*,...) because it doesn't allow defining
    the user trace masks easily. This is why it is deprecated in favour of
    using string trace masks.
