@class wxLogGui
This is the default log target for the GUI wxWidgets applications.
Please see @ref overview_log_customize for explanation of how to change the
default log target.
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 DoShowSingleMessage() to customize
wxLogGui -- the dialogs sample shows how to do this.

/**
@class wxLog
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.
Otherwise, it is completely hidden behind the @e wxLogXXX() functions and
you may not even know about its existence.
@section overview_wxLog_deriving 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 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.
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,
@code
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
@code
wxLogTrace( wxTRACE_OleCalls, "IFoo::Bar() called" );
@endcode
will log the message if it was preceded by
@code
wxLog::AddTraceMask( wxTRACE_OleCalls);
@endcode
Using string masks is simpler and allows you 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.
@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

Like wxLogDebug(), trace functions only do something in debug builds and

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
set by calling wxLog::SetTraceMask(). This version is less flexible than
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.
