\section{Version macros}\label{versionfunctions}
|
|
|
|
The following constants are defined in wxWindows:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
|
|
\item {\tt wxMAJOR\_VERSION} is the major version of wxWindows
|
|
\item {\tt wxMINOR\_VERSION} is the minor version of wxWindows
|
|
\item {\tt wxRELEASE\_NUMBER} is the release number
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
For example, the values or these constants for wxWindows 2.1.15 are 2, 1 and
|
|
15.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, {\tt wxVERSION\_STRING} is a user-readable string containing
|
|
the full wxWindows version and {\tt wxVERSION\_NUMBER} is a combination of the
|
|
three version numbers above: for 2.1.15, it is 2115 and it is 2200 for
|
|
wxWindows 2.2.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxCHECK\_VERSION}\label{wxcheckversion}
|
|
|
|
\func{bool}{wxCHECK\_VERSION}{\param{}{major, minor, release}}
|
|
|
|
This is a macro which evaluates to true if the current wxWindows version is at
|
|
least major.minor.release.
|
|
|
|
For example, to test if the program is compiled with wxWindows 2.2 or higher,
|
|
the following can be done:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
wxString s;
|
|
#if wxCHECK_VERSION(2, 2, 0)
|
|
if ( s.StartsWith("foo") )
|
|
#else // replacement code for old version
|
|
if ( strncmp(s, "foo", 3) == 0 )
|
|
#endif
|
|
{
|
|
...
|
|
}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxCHECK\_GCC\_VERSION}\label{wxcheckgccversion}
|
|
|
|
\func{bool}{wxCHECK\_GCC\_VERSION}{\param{}{major, minor, release}}
|
|
|
|
Returns $1$ if the compiler being used to compile the code is GNU C++
|
|
compiler (g++) version major.minor.release or greater. Otherwise, and also if
|
|
the compiler is not GNU C++ at all, returns $0$.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxCHECK\_W32API\_VERSION}\label{wxcheckw32apiversion}
|
|
|
|
\func{bool}{wxCHECK\_GCC\_VERSION}{\param{}{major, minor, release}}
|
|
|
|
Returns $1$ if the version of w32api headers used is major.minor.release or
|
|
greater. Otherwise, and also if we are not compiling with mingw32/cygwin under
|
|
Win32 at all, returns $0$.
|
|
|
|
\section{Application initialization and termination}\label{appinifunctions}
|
|
|
|
The functions in this section are used on application startup/shutdown and also
|
|
to control the behaviour of the main event loop of the GUI programs.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{::wxEntry}\label{wxentry}
|
|
|
|
This initializes wxWindows in a platform-dependent way. Use this if you
|
|
are not using the default wxWindows entry code (e.g. main or WinMain). For example,
|
|
you can initialize wxWindows from an Microsoft Foundation Classes application using
|
|
this function.
|
|
|
|
\func{void}{wxEntry}{\param{HANDLE}{ hInstance}, \param{HANDLE}{ hPrevInstance},
|
|
\param{const wxString\& }{commandLine}, \param{int}{ cmdShow}, \param{bool}{ enterLoop = true}}
|
|
|
|
wxWindows initialization under Windows (non-DLL). If {\it enterLoop} is false, the
|
|
function will return immediately after calling wxApp::OnInit. Otherwise, the wxWindows
|
|
message loop will be entered.
|
|
|
|
\func{void}{wxEntry}{\param{HANDLE}{ hInstance}, \param{HANDLE}{ hPrevInstance},
|
|
\param{WORD}{ wDataSegment}, \param{WORD}{ wHeapSize}, \param{const wxString\& }{ commandLine}}
|
|
|
|
wxWindows initialization under Windows (for applications constructed as a DLL).
|
|
|
|
\func{int}{wxEntry}{\param{int}{ argc}, \param{const wxString\& *}{argv}}
|
|
|
|
wxWindows initialization under Unix.
|
|
|
|
\wxheading{Remarks}
|
|
|
|
To clean up wxWindows, call wxApp::OnExit followed by the static function
|
|
wxApp::CleanUp. For example, if exiting from an MFC application that also uses wxWindows:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
int CTheApp::ExitInstance()
|
|
{
|
|
// OnExit isn't called by CleanUp so must be called explicitly.
|
|
wxTheApp->OnExit();
|
|
wxApp::CleanUp();
|
|
|
|
return CWinApp::ExitInstance();
|
|
}
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
\membersection{::wxGetApp}\label{wxgetapp}
|
|
|
|
\func{wxAppDerivedClass\&}{wxGetApp}{\void}
|
|
|
|
This function doesn't exist in wxWindows but it is created by using
|
|
the \helpref{IMPLEMENT\_APP}{implementapp} macro. Thus, before using it
|
|
anywhere but in the same module where this macro is used, you must make it
|
|
available using \helpref{DECLARE\_APP}{declareapp}.
|
|
|
|
The advantage of using this function compared to directly using the global
|
|
wxTheApp pointer is that the latter is of type {\tt wxApp *} and so wouldn't
|
|
allow you to access the functions specific to your application class but not
|
|
present in wxApp while wxGetApp() returns the object of the right type.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{::wxHandleFatalExceptions}\label{wxhandlefatalexceptions}
|
|
|
|
\func{bool}{wxHandleFatalExceptions}{\param{bool}{ doIt = true}}
|
|
|
|
If {\it doIt} is true, the fatal exceptions (also known as general protection
|
|
faults under Windows or segmentation violations in the Unix world) will be
|
|
caught and passed to \helpref{wxApp::OnFatalException}{wxapponfatalexception}.
|
|
By default, i.e. before this function is called, they will be handled in the
|
|
normal way which usually just means that the application will be terminated.
|
|
Calling wxHandleFatalExceptions() with {\it doIt} equal to false will restore
|
|
this default behaviour.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{::wxInitAllImageHandlers}\label{wxinitallimagehandlers}
|
|
|
|
\func{void}{wxInitAllImageHandlers}{\void}
|
|
|
|
Initializes all available image handlers. For a list of available handlers,
|
|
see \helpref{wxImage}{wximage}.
|
|
|
|

|
|

|

|
|
|
|
\membersection{::wxInitialize}\label{wxinitialize}
|
|
|
|
\func{bool}{wxInitialize}{\void}
|
|
|
|
This function is used in wxBase only and only if you don't create
|
|
\helpref{wxApp}{wxapp} object at all. In this case you must call it from your
|
|
{\tt main()} function before calling any other wxWindows functions.
|
|
|
|
If the function returns {\tt false} the initialization could not be performed,
|
|
in this case the library cannot be used and
|
|
\helpref{wxUninitialize}{wxuninitialize} shouldn't be called neither.
|
|
|
|
This function may be called several times but
|
|
\helpref{wxUninitialize}{wxuninitialize} must be called for each successful
|
|
call to this function.

|
|
|
|
\func{bool}{wxSafeYield}{\param{wxWindow*}{ win = NULL}, \param{bool}{
|
|
onlyIfNeeded = false}}
|
|
|
|
This function is similar to wxYield, except that it disables the user input to
|
|
all program windows before calling wxYield and re-enables it again
|
|
afterwards. If {\it win} is not NULL, this window will remain enabled,
|
|
allowing the implementation of some limited user interaction.
|
|
|
|
Returns the result of the call to \helpref{::wxYield}{wxyield}.

\membersection{::wxUninitialize}\label{wxuninitialize}
|
|
|
|
\func{void}{wxUninitialize}{\void}
|
|
|
|
This function is for use in console (wxBase) programs only. It must be called
|
|
once for each previous successful call to \helpref{wxInitialize}{wxinitialize}.
|
|
|
|

Calls \helpref{wxApp::Yield}{wxappyield}.
|
|

This functions wakes up the (internal and platform dependent) idle system, i.e. it
|
|
will force the system to send an idle event even if the system currently {\it is}
|
|
idle and thus would not send any idle event until after some other event would get
|
|
sent. This is also useful for sending events between two threads and is used by
|
|
the corresponding functions \helpref{::wxPostEvent}{wxpostevent} and
|
|
\helpref{wxEvtHandler::AddPendingEvent}{wxevthandleraddpendingevent}.

\func{long}{wxExecute}{\param{const wxString\& }{command}, \param{wxArrayString\& }{output}, \param{wxArrayString\& }{errors}}
|
|
|
|
\perlnote{In wxPerl this function only takes the {\tt command} argument,
|
|
and returns a 3-element list {\tt ( status, output, errors )}, where
|
|
{\tt output} and {\tt errors} are array references.}
|
|
|
|
Executes another program in Unix or Windows.
|
|
|
|
The first form takes a command string, such as {\tt "emacs file.txt"}.
|
|
|
|
The second form takes an array of values: a command, any number of
|
|
arguments, terminated by NULL.
|
|
|
|
The semantics of the third and fourth versions is different from the first two
|
|
and is described in more details below.
|
|
|
|
If {\it flags} parameter contains {\tt wxEXEC\_ASYNC} flag (the default), flow
|
|
of control immediately returns. If it contains {\tt wxEXEC\_SYNC}, the current
|
|
application waits until the other program has terminated.
|
|
|
|
In the case of synchronous execution, the return value is the exit code of
|
|
the process (which terminates by the moment the function returns) and will be
|
|
$-1$ if the process couldn't be started and typically 0 if the process
|
|
terminated successfully. Also, while waiting for the process to
|
|
terminate, wxExecute will call \helpref{wxYield}{wxyield}. The caller
|
|
should ensure that this can cause no recursion, in the simplest case by
|
|
calling \helpref{wxEnableTopLevelWindows(false)}{wxenabletoplevelwindows}.
|
|
|
|
For asynchronous execution, however, the return value is the process id and
|
|
zero value indicates that the command could not be executed. As an added
|
|
complication, the return value of $-1$ in this case indicates that we didn't
|
|
launch a new process, but connected to the running one (this can only happen in
|
|
case of using DDE under Windows for command execution). In particular, in this,
|
|
and only this, case the calling code will not get the notification about
|
|
process termination.
|
|
|
|
If callback isn't NULL and if execution is asynchronous,
|
|
\helpref{wxProcess::OnTerminate}{wxprocessonterminate} will be called when
|
|
the process finishes. Specifying this parameter also allows you to redirect the
|
|
standard input and/or output of the process being launched by calling
|
|
\helpref{Redirect}{wxprocessredirect}. If the child process IO is redirected,
|
|
under Windows the process window is not shown by default (this avoids having to
|
|
flush an unnecessary console for the processes which don't create any windows
|
|
anyhow) but a {\tt wxEXEC\_NOHIDE} flag can be used to prevent this from
|
|
happening, i.e. with this flag the child process window will be shown normally.
|
|
|
|
Under Unix the flag {\tt wxEXEC\_MAKE\_GROUP\_LEADER} may be used to ensure
|
|
that the new process is a group leader (this will create a new session if
|
|
needed). Calling \helpref{wxKill}{wxkill} with the argument of -pid where pid
|
|
is the process ID of the new process will kill this process as well as all of
|
|
its children (except those which have started their own session).
|
|
|
|
Finally, you may use the third overloaded version of this function to execute
|
|
a process (always synchronously) and capture its output in the array
|
|
{\it output}. The fourth version adds the possibility to additionally capture
|
|
the messages from standard error output in the {\it errors} array.
|
|
|
|
{\bf NB:} Currently wxExecute() can only be used from the main thread, calling
|
|
this function from another thread will result in an assert failure in debug
|
|
build and won't work.

process with PID {\it pid}. The valid signal values are
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
enum wxSignal
|

|
wants to get access to the GUI library. This function will block the execution
|
|
of the calling thread until the main thread (or any other thread holding the
|

|
|
library until the calling thread calls \helpref{::wxMutexGuiLeave()}{wxmutexguileave}.
|
|
|
|
Typically, these functions are used like this:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
void MyThread::Foo(void)
|
|
{
|
|
// before doing any GUI calls we must ensure that this thread is the only
|
|
// one doing it!

\func{void}{wxSplitPath}{\param{const char *}{ fullname}, \param{wxString *}{ path}, \param{wxString *}{ name}, \param{wxString *}{ ext}}
|
|
|
|
{\bf NB:} This function is obsolete, please use
|
|
\helpref{wxFileName::SplitPath}{wxfilenamesplitpath} instead.
|
|
|
|
This function splits a full file name into components: the path (including possible disk/drive
|
|
specification under Windows), the base name and the extension. Any of the output parameters
|
|
({\it path}, {\it name} or {\it ext}) may be NULL if you are not interested in the value of
|
|
a particular component.
|
|
|
|
wxSplitPath() will correctly handle filenames with both DOS and Unix path separators under
|
|
Windows, however it will not consider backslashes as path separators under Unix (where backslash
|
|
is a valid character in a filename).
|
|
|
|
On entry, {\it fullname} should be non-NULL (it may be empty though).
|
|
|
|
On return, {\it path} contains the file path (without the trailing separator), {\it name}
|
|
contains the file name and {\it ext} contains the file extension without leading dot. All
|
|
three of them may be empty if the corresponding component is. The old contents of the
|
|
strings pointed to by these parameters will be overwritten in any case (if the pointers
|
|
are not NULL).

|
message catalogs (see \helpref{internationalization overview}{internationalization}), the

|
original string is returned. In debug build, an error message is logged -- this
|
|
should help to find the strings which were not yet translated. As this function
|
|
is used very often, an alternative (and also common in Unix world) syntax is
|
|
provided: the \helpref{\_()}{underscore} macro is defined to do the same thing

as wxGetTranslation.

Returns a negative value, 0, or positive value if {\it p1} is less than, equal
|
|
to or greater than {\it p2}. The comparison is case-sensitive.

{\bf NB:} This function is obsolete, use \helpref{wxString}{wxstring} instead.
|
|
|

A macro defined as:
|
|

\membersection{::wxStrlen}\label{wxstrlen}
|

|
|
{\it p} is the {\tt NULL} pointer.

|
|
|
\func{int}{wxSnprintf}{\param{wxChar *}{buf}, \param{size\_t }{len}, \param{const wxChar *}{format}, \param{}{...}}
|
|
|
|
This function replaces the dangerous standard function {\tt sprintf()} and is
|
|
like {\tt snprintf()} available on some platforms. The only difference with
|
|
sprintf() is that an additional argument - buffer size - is taken and the
|
|
buffer is never overflowed.
|
|
|
|
Returns the number of characters copied to the buffer or -1 if there is not
|
|
enough space.

\func{wxChar}{wxT}{\param{char }{ch}}
|
|

\func{const wxChar *}{wxT}{\param{const char *}{s}}
|
|
|
|
wxT() is a macro which can be used with character and string literals (in other
|
|
words, {\tt 'x'} or {\tt "foo"}) to automatically convert them to Unicode in
|
|
Unicode build configuration. Please see the
|
|
\helpref{Unicode overview}{unicode} for more information.
|
|
|
|
This macro is simply returns the value passed to it without changes in ASCII
|
|
build. In fact, its definition is:
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
#ifdef UNICODE
|
|
#define wxT(x) L ## x
|
|
#else // !Unicode
|
|
#define wxT(x) x
|
|
#endif
|

|
|
\membersection{wxTRANSLATE}\label{wxtranslate}
|
|
|
|
\func{const wxChar *}{wxTRANSLATE}{\param{const char *}{s}}
|
|
|
|
This macro doesn't do anything in the program code -- it simply expands to the
|
|
value of its argument (expand in Unicode build where it is equivalent to
|
|
\helpref{wxT}{wxt} which makes it unnecessary to use both wxTRANSLATE and wxT
|
|
with the same string which would be really unreadable).
|
|
|
|
However it does have a purpose and it is to mark the literal strings for the
|
|
extraction into the message catalog created by {\tt xgettext} program. Usually
|
|
this is achieved using \helpref{\_()}{underscore} but that macro not only marks
|
|
the string for extraction but also expands into
|
|
\helpref{wxGetTranslation}{wxgettranslation} function call which means that it
|
|
cannot be used in some situations, notably for the static arrays
|
|
initialization.
|
|
|
|
Here is an example which should make it more clear: suppose that you have a
|
|
static array of strings containing the weekday names and which have to be
|
|
translated (note that it is a bad example, really, as
|
|
\helpref{wxDateTime}{wxdatetime} already can be used to get the localized week
|
|
day names already). If you write
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
static const wxChar * const weekdays[] = { _("Mon"), ..., _("Sun") };
|
|
...
|
|
// use weekdays[n] as usual
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
the code wouldn't compile because the function calls are forbidden in the array
|
|
initializer. So instead you should do
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
static const wxChar * const weekdays[] = { wxTRANSLATE("Mon"), ..., wxTRANSLATE("Sun") };
|
|
...
|
|
// use wxGetTranslation(weekdays[n])
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
here.
|
|
|
|
Note that although the code {\bf would} compile if you simply omit
|
|
wxTRANSLATE() in the above, it wouldn't work as expected because there would be
|
|
no translations for the weekday names in the program message catalog and
|
|
wxGetTranslation wouldn't find them.

function, so it marks the message for the extraction by {\tt xgettext} just as

the string for the current locale during execution.

Pops up a directory selector dialog. The arguments have the same meaning as
|
|
those of wxDirDialog::wxDirDialog(). The message is displayed at the top,
|
|
and the default\_path, if specified, is set as the initial selection.
|
|
|
|
The application must check for an empty return value (if the user pressed
|
|
Cancel). For example:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
const wxString& dir = wxDirSelector("Choose a folder");
|
|
if ( !dir.empty() )
|

|
|
|
|
Pops up a file selector box. In Windows, this is the common file selector
|
|
dialog. In X, this is a file selector box with the same functionality.
|
|
The path and filename are distinct elements of a full file pathname.
|
|
If path is empty, the current directory will be used. If filename is empty,
|
|
no default filename will be supplied. The wildcard determines what files
|
|
are displayed in the file selector, and file extension supplies a type
|
|
extension for the required filename. Flags may be a combination of wxOPEN,
|
|
wxSAVE, wxOVERWRITE\_PROMPT, wxHIDE\_READONLY, wxFILE\_MUST\_EXIST, wxMULTIPLE or 0.
|
|
|
|
Both the Unix and Windows versions implement a wildcard filter. Typing a
|
|
filename containing wildcards (*, ?) in the filename text item, and
|
|
clicking on Ok, will result in only those files matching the pattern being
|
|
displayed.
|
|
|
|
The wildcard may be a specification for multiple types of file
|
|
with a description for each, such as:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
"BMP files (*.bmp)|*.bmp|GIF files (*.gif)|*.gif"
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
The application must check for an empty return value (the user pressed
|
|
Cancel). For example:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
wxString filename = wxFileSelector("Choose a file to open");
|
|
if ( !filename.empty() )
|
|

multiple-selection listbox. The user may choose an arbitrary (including 0)
|
|
number of items in the listbox whose indices will be returned in
|

{\it aChoices} parameter of type \helpref{wxArrayString}{wxarraystring}.
|
|
|

|
|
\param{int }{maxX}, \param{int }{maxY}, \param{float }{scale=1.0}}
|
|
|
|
Given a filename for an existing, valid metafile (as constructed using \helpref{wxMetafileDC}{wxmetafiledc})
|
|
makes it into a placeable metafile by prepending a header containing the given
|
|
bounding box. The bounding box may be obtained from a device context after drawing
|
|
into it, using the functions wxDC::MinX, wxDC::MinY, wxDC::MaxX and wxDC::MaxY.
|
|
|
|
In addition to adding the placeable metafile header, this function adds
|
|
the equivalent of the following code to the start of the metafile data:
|
|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}
|
|
SetMapMode(dc, MM_ANISOTROPIC);
|
|
SetWindowOrg(dc, minX, minY);
|
|
SetWindowExt(dc, maxX - minX, maxY - minY);
|
|
\end{verbatim}
|
|
|
|
This simulates the wxMM\_TEXT mapping mode, which wxWindows assumes.
|
|
|
|
Placeable metafiles may be imported by many Windows applications, and can be
|
|
used in RTF (Rich Text Format) files.
|
|
|
|
{\it scale} allows the specification of scale for the metafile.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Gets a resource value from the resource database (for example, WIN.INI, or
|
|
.Xdefaults). If {\it file} is NULL, WIN.INI or .Xdefaults is used,
|
|
otherwise the specified file is used.
|
|
|
|
Under X, if an application class (wxApp::GetClassName) has been defined,
|
|
it is appended to the string /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/ to try to find
|
|
an applications default file when merging all resource databases.
|
|
|
|
The reason for passing the result in an argument is that it
|
|
can be convenient to define a default value, which gets overridden
|
|
if the value exists in the resource file. It saves a separate
|
|
test for that resource's existence, and it also allows
|
|
the overloading of the function for different types.

|
a new character array and copies the data into it. A pointer to this data is returned. If unsuccessful, NULL is returned.
|
|
|

|
|
|
\begin{verbatim}

Writes a resource value into the resource database (for example, WIN.INI, or

|
|
otherwise the specified file is used.
|

file under Unix, although the WIN.INI file is fair game under Windows.

\section{Byte order macros}\label{byteordermacros}
|
|
|
|
The endian-ness issues (that is the difference between big-endian and
|
|
little-endian architectures) are important for the portable programs working
|
|
with the external binary data (for example, data files or data coming from
|
|
network) which is usually in some fixed, platform-independent format. The
|
|
macros are helpful for transforming the data to the correct format.

|
|
|
|
\func{wxUint16}{wxUINT16\_SWAP\_ALWAYS}{\param{wxUint16 }{value}}
|
|
|
|
These macros will swap the bytes of the {\it value} variable from little
|
|
endian to big endian or vice versa unconditionally, i.e. independently of the
|
|
current platform.

|
|
|
|
\func{wxUint16}{wxUINT16\_SWAP\_ON\_BE}{\param{wxUint16 }{value}}
|
|
|
|
This macro will swap the bytes of the {\it value} variable from little
|
|
endian to big endian or vice versa if the program is compiled on a
|
|
big-endian architecture (such as Sun work stations). If the program has
|
|
been compiled on a little-endian architecture, the value will be unchanged.
|
|
|
|
Use these macros to read data from and write data to a file that stores
|
|
data in little-endian (for example Intel i386) format.

|
|

\func{wxUint16}{wxUINT16\_SWAP\_ON\_LE}{\param{wxUint16 }{value}}
|
|
|
|
This macro will swap the bytes of the {\it value} variable from little
|
|
endian to big endian or vice versa if the program is compiled on a
|
|
little-endian architecture (such as Intel PCs). If the program has
|
|
been compiled on a big-endian architecture, the value will be unchanged.
|
|
|
|
Use these macros to read data from and write data to a file that stores
|
|
data in big-endian format.

\section{RTTI functions}\label{rttimacros}
|
|
|
|
wxWindows uses its own RTTI ("run-time type identification") system which
|
|
predates the current standard C++ RTTI and so is kept for backwards
|
|
compatibility reasons but also because it allows some things which the
|
|
standard RTTI doesn't directly support (such as creating a class from its
|
|
name).
|
|
|
|
The standard C++ RTTI can be used in the user code without any problems and in
|
|
general you shouldn't need to use the functions and the macros in this section
|
|
unless you are thinking of modifying or adding any wxWindows classes.

\section{Log functions}\label{logfunctions}
|
|
|
|
These functions provide a variety of logging functions: see \helpref{Log classes overview}{wxlogoverview} for
|
|
further information. The functions use (implicitly) the currently active log
|
|
target, so their descriptions here may not apply if the log target is not the
|
|
standard one (installed by wxWindows in the beginning of the program).

|
|

{\bf NB:} This function is now obsolete, replaced by \helpref{Log

functions}{logfunctions} and \helpref{wxLogDebug}{wxlogdebug} in particular.
|
|
|
|
Display a debugging message; under Windows, this will appear on the
|
|
debugger command window, and under Unix, it will be written to standard
|
|
error.
|
|
|
|
The syntax is identical to {\bf printf}: pass a format string and a
|
|
variable list of arguments.
|
|
|
|
{\bf Tip:} under Windows, if your application crashes before the
|
|
message appears in the debugging window, put a wxYield call after
|
|
each wxDebugMsg call. wxDebugMsg seems to be broken under WIN32s
|
|
(at least for Watcom C++): preformat your messages and use OutputDebugString
|
|
instead.

\func{void}{wxVLogWarning}{\param{const char *}{formatString}, \param{va\_list }{argPtr}}

the program work.

\func{void}{wxVLogMessage}{\param{const char *}{formatString}, \param{va\_list }{argPtr}}
|
|
|
|
For all normal, informational messages. They also appear in a message box by
|
|
default (but it can be changed). Notice that the standard behaviour is to not
|
|
show informational messages if there are any errors later - the logic being
|
|
that the later error messages make the informational messages preceding them
|
|
meaningless.

\func{void}{wxVLogVerbose}{\param{const char *}{formatString}, \param{va\_list }{argPtr}}
|
|
|
|
For verbose output. Normally, it is suppressed, but

might be activated if the user wishes to know more details about the program
|
|
progress (another, but possibly confusing name for the same function is {\bf wxLogInfo}).

\func{void}{wxVLogStatus}{\param{const char *}{formatString}, \param{va\_list }{argPtr}}
|
|
|
|
Messages logged by these functions will appear in the statusbar of the {\it
|
|
frame} or of the top level application window by default (i.e. when using
|
|
the second version of the functions).
|
|

Mostly used by wxWindows itself, but might be handy for logging errors after
|
|
system call (API function) failure. It logs the specified message text as well
|
|
as the last system error code ({\it errno} or {\it ::GetLastError()} depending
|
|
on the platform) and the corresponding error message. The second form
|
|
of this function takes the error code explicitly as the first argument.

|
|
|
|
As {\bf wxLogDebug}, trace functions only do something in debug build and
|
|
expand to nothing in the release one. The reason for making
|
|
it a separate function from it is that usually there are a lot of trace
|
|
messages, so it might make sense to separate them from other debug messages.
|
|
|
|
The trace messages also usually can be separated into different categories and
|
|
the second and third versions of this function only log the message if the
|
|
{\it mask} which it has is currently enabled in \helpref{wxLog}{wxlog}. This
|
|
allows to selectively trace only some operations and not others by changing
|
|
the value of the trace mask (possible during the run-time).
|
|
|
|
For the second function (taking a string mask), the message is logged only if
|
|
the mask has been previously enabled by the call to
|
|
\helpref{AddTraceMask}{wxlogaddtracemask}. The predefined string trace masks
|
|
used by wxWindows are:
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
|
|
\item wxTRACE\_MemAlloc: trace memory allocation (new/delete)
|
|
\item wxTRACE\_Messages: trace window messages/X callbacks
|
|
\item wxTRACE\_ResAlloc: trace GDI resource allocation
|
|
\item wxTRACE\_RefCount: trace various ref counting operations
|
|
\item wxTRACE\_OleCalls: trace OLE method calls (Win32 only)
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
The third version of the function only logs the message if all the bit
|
|
corresponding to the {\it mask} are set in the wxLog trace mask which can be
|
|
set by \helpref{SetTraceMask}{wxlogsettracemask}. This version is less
|
|
flexible than the previous one because it doesn't allow defining the user
|
|
trace masks easily - this is why it is deprecated in favour of using string
|
|
trace masks.
|
|
|
|
\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
|
|
\item wxTraceMemAlloc: trace memory allocation (new/delete)
|

|
This function shows a message to the user in a safe way and should be safe to
|
|
call even before the application has been initialized or if it is currently in
|
|
some other strange state (for example, about to crash). Under Windows this
|
|
function shows a message box using a native dialog instead of
|
|
\helpref{wxMessageBox}{wxmessagebox} (which might be unsafe to call), elsewhere
|
|
it simply prints the message to the standard output using the title as prefix.

\section{Debugging macros and functions}\label{debugmacros}
|
|
|
|
Useful macros and functions for error checking and defensive programming.
|
|
wxWindows defines three families of the assert-like macros:
|
|
the wxASSERT and wxFAIL macros only do anything if \_\_WXDEBUG\_\_ is defined
|
|
(in other words, in the debug build) but disappear completely in the release
|
|
build. On the other hand, the wxCHECK macros stay event in release builds but a
|
|
check failure doesn't generate any user-visible effects then. Finally, the
|
|
compile time assertions don't happen during the run-time but result in the
|
|
compilation error messages if the condition they check fail.

|

|
|
\func{void}{wxOnAssert}{\param{const char *}{fileName}, \param{int}{ lineNumber}, \param{const char *}{cond}, \param{const char *}{msg = NULL}}
|
|
|
|
This function is called whenever one of debugging macros fails (i.e. condition
|
|
is false in an assertion). It is only defined in the debug mode, in release
|
|
builds the \helpref{wxCHECK}{wxcheck} failures don't result in anything.
|
|
|
|
To override the default behaviour in the debug builds which is to show the user
|
|
a dialog asking whether he wants to abort the program, continue or continue
|
|
ignoring any subsequent assert failures, you may override
|
|
\helpref{wxApp::OnAssert}{wxapponassert} which is called by this function if
|
|
the global application object exists.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxASSERT}\label{wxassert}

\func{}{wxASSERT}{\param{}{condition}}
|

Assert macro. An error message will be generated if the condition is false in
|
|
debug mode, but nothing will be done in the release build.
|
|
|
|
Please note that the condition in wxASSERT() should have no side effects
|
|
because it will not be executed in release mode at all.

// we rely on the int being able to hold values up to 2^32
|
|
wxASSERT_MIN_BITSIZE(int, 32);

|
|
|
// can't work with the platforms using UTF-8 for wchar_t
|
|
wxASSERT_MIN_BITSIZE(wchar_t, 16);
|

\func{}{wxASSERT\_MSG}{\param{}{condition}, \param{}{msg}}
|
|
|
|
Assert macro with message. An error message will be generated if the condition is false.

\func{}{wxCOMPILE\_TIME\_ASSERT}{\param{}{condition}, \param{}{msg}}
|
|
|
|
Using {\tt wxCOMPILE\_TIME\_ASSERT} results in a compilation error if the
|
|
specified {\it condition} is false. The compiler error message should include
|
|
the {\it msg} identifier - please note that it must be a valid C++ identifier
|
|
and not a string unlike in the other cases.
|
|
|
|
This macro is mostly useful for testing the expressions involving the
|
|
{\tt sizeof} operator as they can't be tested by the preprocessor but it is
|
|
sometimes desirable to test them at the compile time.
|
|
|
|
Note that this macro internally declares a struct whose name it tries to make
|
|
unique by using the {\tt \_\_LINE\_\_} in it but it may still not work if you
|
|
use it on the same line in two different source files. In this case you may
|
|
either change the line in which either of them appears on or use the
|
|
\helpref{wxCOMPILE\_TIME\_ASSERT2}{wxcompiletimeassert2} macro.

|
|
|

\func{}{wxCOMPILE\_TIME\_ASSERT}{\param{}{condition}, \param{}{msg}, \param{}{name}}
|
|
|
|
This macro is identical to \helpref{wxCOMPILE\_TIME\_ASSERT2}{wxcompiletimeassert2}
|
|
except that it allows you to specify a unique {\it name} for the struct
|
|
internally defined by this macro to avoid getting the compilation errors
|
|
described \helpref{above}{wxcompiletimeassert}.

\membersection{wxFAIL\_MSG}\label{wxfailmsg}
|
|
|
|
\func{}{wxFAIL\_MSG}{\param{}{msg}}
|
|
|
|
Will always generate an assert error with specified message if this code is reached (in debug mode).
|
|
|
|
This macro is useful for marking unreachable" code areas, for example
|
|
it may be used in the "default:" branch of a switch statement if all possible
|
|
cases are processed above.

\membersection{wxCHECK}\label{wxcheck}
|
|
|
|
\func{}{wxCHECK}{\param{}{condition}, \param{}{retValue}}
|
|
|
|
Checks that the condition is true, returns with the given return value if not (FAILs in debug mode).
|
|
This check is done even in release mode.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxCHECK\_MSG}\label{wxcheckmsg}
|
|
|
|
\func{}{wxCHECK\_MSG}{\param{}{condition}, \param{}{retValue}, \param{}{msg}}
|
|
|
|
Checks that the condition is true, returns with the given return value if not (FAILs in debug mode).
|
|
This check is done even in release mode.
|
|
|
|
This macro may be only used in non void functions, see also
|
|
\helpref{wxCHECK\_RET}{wxcheckret}.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxCHECK\_RET}\label{wxcheckret}
|
|
|
|
\func{}{wxCHECK\_RET}{\param{}{condition}, \param{}{msg}}
|
|
|
|
Checks that the condition is true, and returns if not (FAILs with given error
|
|
message in debug mode). This check is done even in release mode.
|
|
|
|
This macro should be used in void functions instead of
|
|
\helpref{wxCHECK\_MSG}{wxcheckmsg}.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxCHECK2}\label{wxcheck2}
|
|
|
|
\func{}{wxCHECK2}{\param{}{condition}, \param{}{operation}}
|
|
|
|
Checks that the condition is true and \helpref{wxFAIL}{wxfail} and execute
|
|
{\it operation} if it is not. This is a generalisation of
|
|
\helpref{wxCHECK}{wxcheck} and may be used when something else than just
|
|
returning from the function must be done when the {\it condition} is false.
|
|
|
|
This check is done even in release mode.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxCHECK2\_MSG}\label{wxcheck2msg}
|
|
|
|
\func{}{wxCHECK2}{\param{}{condition}, \param{}{operation}, \param{}{msg}}
|
|
|
|
This is the same as \helpref{wxCHECK2}{wxcheck2}, but
|
|
\helpref{wxFAIL\_MSG}{wxfailmsg} with the specified {\it msg} is called
|
|
instead of wxFAIL() if the {\it condition} is false.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{::wxTrap}\label{wxtrap}
|
|
|
|
\func{void}{wxTrap}{\void}
|
|
|
|
In debug mode (when {\tt \_\_WXDEBUG\_\_} is defined) this function generates a
|
|
debugger exception meaning that the control is passed to the debugger if one is
|
|
attached to the process. Otherwise the program just terminates abnormally.
|
|
|
|
In release mode this function does nothing.

\membersection{wxGetenv}\label{wxgetenvmacro}
|
|
|
|
\func{wxChar *}{wxGetEnv}{\param{const wxString\&}{ var}}
|
|
|
|
This is a macro defined as {\tt getenv()} or its wide char version in Unicode
|
|
mode.
|
|
|
|
Note that under Win32 it may not return correct value for the variables set
|
|
with \helpref{wxSetEnv}{wxsetenv}, use \helpref{wxGetEnv}{wxgetenv} function
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxGetEnv}\label{wxgetenv}
|
|
|
|
\func{bool}{wxGetEnv}{\param{const wxString\&}{ var}, \param{wxString *}{value}}
|
|
|
|
Returns the current value of the environment variable {\it var} in {\it value}.
|
|
{\it value} may be {\tt NULL} if you just want to know if the variable exists
|
|
and are not interested in its value.
|
|
|
|
Returns {\tt true} if the variable exists, {\tt false} otherwise.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxSetEnv}\label{wxsetenv}
|
|
|
|
\func{bool}{wxSetEnv}{\param{const wxString\&}{ var}, \param{const wxChar *}{value}}
|
|
|
|
Sets the value of the environment variable {\it var} (adding it if necessary)
|
|
to {\it value}.
|
|
|
|
Returns {\tt true} on success.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxUnsetEnv}\label{wxunsetenv}
|
|
|
|
\func{bool}{wxUnsetEnv}{\param{const wxString\&}{ var}}
|
|
|
|
Removes the variable {\it var} from the environment.
|
|
\helpref{wxGetEnv}{wxgetenv} will return {\tt NULL} after the call to this
|
|
function.
|
|
|
|
Returns {\tt true} on success.
