## wxLogWindow

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

### wxLogWindow::wxLogWindow

wxLogWindow(wxFrame *parent, const wxChar *title, bool show = `true`, bool passToOld = `true`)

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

Parameters

parent

The parent window for the log frame, may be `NULL`

title

The title for the log frame

show

`true` to show the frame initially (default), otherwise wxLogWindow::Show must be called later.

passToOld

`true` 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.

### wxLogWindow::Show

void Show(bool show = `true`)

Shows or hides the frame.

### wxLogWindow::GetFrame

wxFrame * GetFrame() const

Returns the associated log frame window. This may be used to position or resize it but use wxLogWindow::Show to show or hide it.

### wxLogWindow::OnFrameCreate

virtual void OnFrameCreate(wxFrame *frame)

Called immediately after the log frame creation allowing for any extra initializations.

### wxLogWindow::OnFrameClose

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).

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

### wxLogWindow::OnFrameDelete

virtual void OnFrameDelete(wxFrame *frame)

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