@section overview_log_customize Logging Customization
To completely change the logging behaviour you may define a custom log target.
For example, you could define a class inheriting from wxLog which shows all the
log messages in some part of your main application window reserved for the
message output without interrupting the user work flow with modal message
boxes.
To use your custom log target you may either call wxLog::SetActiveTarget() with
your custom log object or create a wxAppTraits-derived class and override
CreateLogTarget() virtual method in it and also override wxApp::CreateTraits()
to return an instance of your custom traits object. Notice that in the latter
case you should be prepared for logging messages early during the program
startup and also during program shutdown so you shouldn't rely on existence of
the main application window, for example. You can however safely assume that
GUI is (already/still) available when your log target as used as wxWidgets
automatically switches to using wxLogStderr if it isn't.
The dialog sample illustrates this approach by defining a custom log target
customizing the dialog used by wxLogGui for the single messages.

There are several methods which may be overridden in the derived class to
customize log messages handling: wxLog::DoLogRecord(), wxLog::DoLogTextAtLevel()
and wxLog::DoLogText().
The last method is the simplest one: you should override it if you simply
want to redirect the log output elsewhere, without taking into account the
level of the message. If you do want to handle messages of different levels
differently, then you should override wxLog::DoLogTextAtLevel().
Finally, if more control over the output format is needed, then the first
function must be overridden as it 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).
The @e dialog sample illustrates this approach by defining a custom log target
customizing the dialog used by wxLogGui for the single messages.
@section overview_log_tracemasks Using trace masks
Notice that the use of log trace masks is hardly necessary any longer in
current wxWidgets version as the same effect can be achieved by using
different log components for different log statements of any level. Please
see @ref overview_log_enable for more information about the log components.
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 currently
enabled trace masks: if wxLog::AddTraceMask() was called for the mask of the given
message, it will be logged, otherwise nothing happens.
For example,
@code
wxLogTrace( wxTRACE_OleCalls, "IFoo::Bar() called" );
@endcode
will log the message if it was preceded by:
@code
wxLog::AddTraceMask( wxTRACE_OleCalls);
@endcode
The standard trace masks are given in wxLogTrace() documentation.
@section overview_log_timestamps Timestamps
The wxLog::LogRecord() 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
@c "[%d/%b/%y %H:%M:%S] " which gives something like @c "[17/Sep/98 22:10:16] "
(without quotes) for the current date.
Setting an empty string as the time format or calling the shortcut wxLog::DisableTimestamp(),
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 log_derivingyours Deriving your own log target
There are several methods which may be overridden in the derived class to
customize log messages handling: DoLogRecord(), DoLogTextAtLevel() and
DoLogText().
The last method is the simplest one: you should override it if you simply
want to redirect the log output elsewhere, without taking into account the
level of the message. If you do want to handle messages of different levels
differently, then you should override DoLogTextAtLevel().
Finally, if more control over the output format is needed, then the first
function must be overridden as it 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 FlushActive()
@section log_tracemasks Using trace masks
Notice that the use of log trace masks is hardly necessary any longer in
current wxWidgets version as the same effect can be achieved by using
different log components for different log statements of any level. Please
see @ref overview_log_enable for more information about the log components.
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 currently
enabled trace masks: if AddTraceMask() was called for the mask of the given
message, it will be logged, otherwise nothing happens.
For example,
@code
wxLogTrace( wxTRACE_OleCalls, "IFoo::Bar() called" );
@endcode
will log the message if it was preceded by:
@code
wxLog::AddTraceMask( wxTRACE_OleCalls);
@endcode
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 or calling the shortcut wxLog::DisableTimestamp(), disables timestamping
of the messages completely.

@section log_target Manipulating the log target
The functions in this section work with and manipulate the active log
target.
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.

periodically, it doesn't have any effect if the current log target does the
logging immediately without waiting for Flush() to be called (the standard

works as expected with it).
