UI Lua API import (WAR 1.4.8)

New page

{{LuaApi|group=LogDisplay}}
Sets whether a LogDisplay window prints the text log's name in front of each line.

<pre>
LogDisplaySetShowLogName(displayName, show)
</pre>

== Arguments ==
;displayName : <code>string</code> – Name of a LogDisplay window.
;show : <code>boolean</code> – <code>true</code> to show the log name.

== Returns ==
Nothing.

== Details ==
* The name is printed as <code>[''logName'']</code>, after the time stamp and before the filter name.
* Unlike [[API:LogDisplaySetShowTimestamp|LogDisplaySetShowTimestamp]], this call does not rebuild the display. Lines already shown keep their layout; the setting applies to lines added afterwards. Call it before [[API:LogDisplayAddLog|LogDisplayAddLog]] to affect every line.
* <code>show</code> must be a real boolean.
* The function needs at least two arguments and only reads the last two. Any extra arguments placed in front of them are ignored.

== Errors ==
* <code>Error in function call 'TextLogSetShowLogName': Window %s does not exist</code>
* <code>Error in function call 'TextLogSetShowLogName': Window %s is not a TextLogDisplay</code>

== Example ==
From <code>ea_guildwindow/source/guildwindowtabprofile.lua</code>:
<pre>
LogDisplaySetShowTimestamp( "GWProfileNewsText", false )
LogDisplaySetShowLogName( "GWProfileNewsText", false )
LogDisplaySetShowFilterName( "GWProfileNewsText", false)
</pre>

* [[API:LogDisplaySetShowTimestamp|LogDisplaySetShowTimestamp]]
* [[API:LogDisplaySetShowFilterName|LogDisplaySetShowFilterName]]
