wxStreamToTextRedirector Class Reference

#include <wx/textctrl.h>

Detailed Description

This class can be used to (temporarily) redirect all output sent to a C++ ostream object to a wxTextCtrl instead.

Note

Some compilers and/or build configurations don't support multiply inheriting wxTextCtrl from std::streambuf in which case this class is not compiled in. You also must have wxUSE_STD_IOSTREAM option on (i.e. set to 1) in your setup.h to be able to use it. Under Unix, specify –enable-std_iostreams switch when running configure for this.

Example of usage:

using namespace std;
wxTextCtrl* text = new wxTextCtrl(...);
{
    wxStreamToTextRedirector redirect(text);

    // this goes to the text control
    cout << "Hello, text!" << endl;
}
// this goes somewhere else, presumably to stdout
cout << "Hello, console!" << endl;

Public Member Functions
	wxStreamToTextRedirector (wxTextCtrl *text, ostream *ostr)
	The constructor starts redirecting output sent to ostr or cout for the default parameter value to the text control text.
	~wxStreamToTextRedirector ()
	When a wxStreamToTextRedirector object is destroyed, the redirection is ended and any output sent to the C++ ostream which had been specified at the time of the object construction will go to its original destination.
