wxLogFormatter Class Reference

#include <wx/log.h>

Detailed Description

wxLogFormatter class is used to format the log messages.

It implements the default formatting and can be derived from to create custom formatters.

The default implementation formats the message into a string containing the time stamp, level-dependent prefix and the message itself.

To change it, you can derive from it and override its Format() method. For example, to include the thread id in the log messages you can use

class LogFormatterWithThread : public wxLogFormatter
{
virtual wxString Format(wxLogLevel level,
const wxString& msg,
const wxLogRecordInfo& info) const
{
return wxString::Format("[%d] %s(%d) : %s",
info.threadId, info.filename, info.line, msg);
}
};

And then associate it with wxLog instance using its SetFormatter(). Then, if you call:

wxLogMessage(_("*** Application started ***"));

the log output could be something like:

    [7872] d:\testApp\src\testApp.cpp(85) : *** Application started ***

Member Function Documentation

virtual wxString wxLogFormatter::Format ( wxLogLevel  level,
const wxString msg,
const wxLogRecordInfo info 
) const
virtual

This function creates the full log message string.

Override it to customize the output string format.

Parameters
levelThe level of this log record, e.g. wxLOG_Error.
msgThe log message itself.
infoAll the other information (such as time, component, location...) associated with this log record.
Returns
The formated message.
Note
Time stamping 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, override FormatTime().
virtual wxString wxLogFormatter::FormatTime ( time_t  time) const
protectedvirtual

This function formats the time stamp part of the log message.

Override this function if you need to customize just the time stamp.

Parameters
timeTime to format.
Returns
The formated time string, may be empty.
