Remarks

Use conditions according to the platforms

Linux Trace can be used to display the requested information in a file only. By default, this file is created in the UNIX temporary directory and is named "Trace_<Project>.txt".
PHP The information of Trace is displayed at the beginning of the HTML page returned.
WEBDEV - Server code
  • The trace window is displayed in Go only for the dynamic pages (non-AWP pages).
  • In AWP mode and in deployment, Trace can only be used to write the specified information into a file (trFile constant used with TraceStart).
iPhone/iPadIOS WidgetApple WatchMac Catalyst Trace displays the requested information in the standard output window of Xcode.
AndroidAndroid Widget Trace is used to save the requested information in the application log (called "ADB log") at run time or in emulator mode. This information is found at "Info" level.
This log can be viewed when the device is connected via USB or when using the emulator from the DDMS application supplied with the Android SDK.
For more details, see Managing ADB logs.

Trace window

  • The information passed in parameter is displayed on the next line of the trace window.
  • The trace window is automatically opened during the first call to Trace (TraceStart is automatically run). By default, this window is opened in the top left corner of the screen.
  • The operating mode of Trace is equivalent to the operating mode of Info but the display is performed in a parallel window, without waiting for keys.
  • WEBDEV - Server codeWEBDEV - Browser code The trace window displayed from a browser code differs from the trace window displayed from a server code. Therefore, two different trace windows can be opened at the same time.

Popup menu of trace window

The popup menu of Trace window is used to:
  • copy/cut/paste the content of trace window.
  • save the content of the trace window in a text file.
    Caution: This option is available only if the wdxxxstd.dll library is found on the end-user computer.
  • clear the content of trace window.
  • open the trace window on top of all the other windows (including the windows from the other applications).
  • store the size and position of the trace window when it is closed. When re-displaying this window, it will be displayed according to the size and position stored.
  • display an horizontal scrollbar.
  • display special characters in gray and literally: EOT, TAB, etc. Therefore, the "Carriage Return" (CR) characters found correspond to "<\r><\n>".
    Remark: This option will be taken into account from the next line of information displayed.
