Detailed Description

A logger engine which pipes messages to the Qt Messaging System as debug messages.

A logger engine which pipes messages to the Qt Messaging System as debug messages.

Note:

Clearing the log through clearLog() is not supported by this logger engine.

QtMsgLoggerEngine engines are not removeable.

Member Function Documentation

void Qtilities::Logging::QtMsgLoggerEngine::logMessage ( const QString &  message, Logger::MessageType  message_type  )

virtualslot

Function which receives a formatted string which needs to be logged.

Messages arrives at logger engines through the newMessages() slot which will format the messages and validate if they must be logged. If so, this function will be called with a formatted message. If you wish to handle the message formatting manually, you can reimplement the newMessages() function.

Implements Qtilities::Logging::AbstractLoggerEngine.
