[wxperl-users] Puzzled by wxLog::SetTimestamp

[Johan V. <jvr...@sq...>]

Hi,

I'm using Wx::LogTextCtrl for logging, and I try to change the time
stamp that gets prepended to each message. However, changing the time
stamp format produces strange results. For example (using the
samples/controls/controls.pl), I changed:

    $this->{OLDLOG} =
      Wx::Log::SetActiveTarget( Wx::LogTextCtrl->new( $this->{TEXT} ) );

to

    my $t = Wx::LogTextCtrl->new( $this->{TEXT} );
    $t->SetTimestamp("xxx");
    $this->{OLDLOG} =
      Wx::Log::SetActiveTarget($t);

Now, all messages are prepended with "test" (not "xxx").
Printing the result of GetTimestamp (before changing it) reveals that
it is "%X", but even when I do:

    $t->SetTimestamp('%X');
or
    $t->SetTimestamp($t->GetTimestamp);

I get this "test" prefix.

Am I overlooking something?
