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).

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>".
    Note: This option will be taken into account from the next line of information displayed.
