+ Inheritance diagram for wxLogWindow:

Detailed Description

This class represents a background log window: to be precise, it collects all log messages in the log frame which it manages but also passes them on to the log target which was active at the moment of its creation.

This allows you, for example, to show all the log messages in a frame but still continue to process them normally by showing the standard log dialog.

Public Member Functions

 wxLogWindow (wxWindow *pParent, const wxString &szTitle, bool show=true, bool passToOld=true)
 Creates the log frame window and starts collecting the messages in it. More...
 
wxFrameGetFrame () const
 Returns the associated log frame window. More...
 
virtual bool OnFrameClose (wxFrame *frame)
 Called if the user closes the window interactively, will not be called if it is destroyed for another reason (such as when program exits). More...
 
virtual void OnFrameDelete (wxFrame *frame)
 Called right before the log frame is going to be deleted: will always be called unlike OnFrameClose(). More...

 Shows or hides the frame. More...

 wxLogInterposer ()
 The default constructor installs this object as the current active log target. More...
 
- Public Member Functions inherited from wxLogChain
 wxLogChain (wxLog *logger)
 Sets the specified logger (which may be NULL) as the default log target but the log messages are also passed to the previous log target if any. More...
 
virtual ~wxLogChain ()
 Destroys the previous log target. More...
 
void DetachOldLog ()
 Detaches the old log target so it won't be destroyed when the wxLogChain object is destroyed. More...
 
wxLogGetOldLog () const
 Returns the pointer to the previously active log target (which may be NULL). More...
 
bool IsPassingMessages () const
 Returns true if the messages are passed to the previously active log target (default) or false if PassMessages() had been called. More...
 
void PassMessages (bool passMessages)

wxLogFormatterSetFormatter (wxLogFormatter *formatter)
 Sets the specified formatter as the active one. More...
 
virtual void Flush ()
 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). More...

 Log the given record. More...

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

wxLogWindow::wxLogWindow ( wxWindow pParent,
const wxString szTitle,
bool  show = true,
bool  passToOld = true 
)

Creates the log frame window and starts collecting the messages in it.

Parameters
pParentThe parent window for the log frame, may be NULL
szTitleThe title for the log frame
showtrue to show the frame initially (default), otherwise Show() must be called later.
passToOldtrue to process the log messages normally in addition to logging them in the log frame (default), false to only log them in the log frame. Note that if no targets were set using wxLog::SetActiveTarget() then wxLogWindow simply becomes the active one and messages won't be passed to other targets.

Member Function Documentation

wxFrame* wxLogWindow::GetFrame ( ) const

Returns the associated log frame window.

This may be used to position or resize it but use Show() to show or hide it.

virtual bool wxLogWindow::OnFrameClose ( wxFrame frame)
virtual

Called if the user closes the window interactively, will not be called if it is destroyed for another reason (such as when program exits).

Return true from here to allow the frame to close, false to prevent this from happening.

See also
OnFrameDelete()
virtual void wxLogWindow::OnFrameDelete ( wxFrame frame)
virtual

Called right before the log frame is going to be deleted: will always be called unlike OnFrameClose().

void wxLogWindow::Show ( bool  show = true)

Shows or hides the frame.
