Declaration

type ALoggedHint = class(ALoggedItem)

Description

This class represents a hint that is logged. It is defined such that the counter it will increment upon being logged is the one specified by lghtCounterName – by default, a counter named hints.

It also changes the string representation of itself produced when its toString method is called, to include a prefix that indicates it is a hint. This prefix is defined by lghtStringRepresentation.

Initializer

	function toString: AnsiString; override;
Construct and return a string representation of the item, suitable for printing to a text-based device, such as a console. This method overrides the behavior inherited from ALoggedItem.toString so that a prefix is included with the message that indicates it is a hint. This prefix is defined by lghtStringRepresentation.
