## Class Description

     TMessageHandler

     Handle messages that might be generated by the system.
     By default a handler only keeps track of the different messages
     generated for a specific class. By deriving from this class and
     overriding Notify() one can implement custom message handling.
     In Notify() one has access to the message id and the object
     generating the message. One can install more than one message
     handler per class. A message handler can be removed or again
     added when needed.
     All Root "Warnings"  are logged as message 1001
     All Root "Errors"    are logged as message 1002
     All Root "SysErrors" are logged as message 1003
     All Root "Fatals"    are logged as message 1004

TMessageHandler(const TClass *cl, Bool_t derived)

     Create a new message handler for class cl and add it to the list
     of message handlers.

TMessageHandler(const char *cl, Bool_t derived)

     Create a new message handler for class named cl and add it to the list
     of message handlers.

~TMessageHandler()

     Clean up the messagehandler.

void Add()

     Add this message handler to the list of messages handlers.

Int_t GetMessageCount(Int_t messId) const

     Return counter for message with ID=messid.

Int_t GetTotalMessageCount() const

     Return total number of messages.

void HandleMessage(Int_t id, const TObject *obj)

     Store message origin, keep statistics and call Notify().

Bool_t Notify()

     This method must be overridden to handle object notifcation.

void Print(Option_t *) const

     Print statistics for this message handler.

void Remove()

     Remove this message handler from the list of messages handlers.
