Re: Trace debugging in run-time (re-direct Debug.Print to a file?)

You could use a file logging class that is safe to use with multiple
processes and/or threads Sinna, e.g.

Hi,
I want to see all the steps at debugging without watching any specific
variables, breakpoint...!
Is it possible to re-direct?
I'm using vb6 and can not find any hint on how to do in MSDN.

Thanks

Look in MSDN for OutputDebugString. It doesn't redirect to a file, but
to the Debug Console/View. Download DbgView from SysInternals (now MS)
and see you debugging info passing by.

Note that I'm not redirecting you to a file-based logging as it has some
overhead and possible issues as Windows doesn't update the log file
every time you write a line to it. So if your application crashes it's
possible you don't have the complete log.
If you want to save the debug info to a file, you can use the
save-function of DbgView.
Another reason I don't use file-based logging is to avoid collisions
when multiple instances of the application are open.
