Debug.Print Examples

Debug.Print (

Example 1

Debug.Print("Help button clicked");

Prints "Help button clicked" to the debug window. (You could put this action in the "On Help" event for a Help button to find out if the event's actions are being performed.)

Example 2

Debug.Print("On Next event fired: " .. Debug.GetEventContext());

Prints a debug message consisting of the string "On Next event fired: " followed by the current event context.

Example 3

-- Show the debug window.

Debug.ShowWindow(true);

-- Turn on the debug trace mode.

Debug.SetTraceMode(true);

-- Print some example text to the debug window.

Debug.Print("This is a test line that will be printed.\r\n");

-- Perform some addition and write it out to the debug window.

total = 6 + 2;

Debug.Print(total.."\r\n");

-- Print the current date to the debug window.

Debug.Print(System.GetDate(DATE_FMT_ISO).."\r\n");

-- Get the event context and print it to the debug window.

context = Debug.GetEventContext();

Debug.Print(context);

-- Determine if trace mode is turned on and print the result to the debug window.

trace_mode = Debug.GetTraceMode();

if trace_mode then

Debug.Print("Trace mode is on.\r\n");

else

Debug.Print("Trace mode is off.\r\n");

end

This example uses a few of the debug actions to output content to the debug window.
