Debugview quit working

[Jim A]

I rely heavily on debugview to see what's happening behind the scenes.  All at once, it no longer shows the messages coming from my NTWS app.  I reinstalled debugview, but no joy.

I'm using 7.07 under C6 if that matters.

Thanks.

Hi Jim,

Do you have anynfiltering active in debugview?

Rene

[Jim A]

No, not that I'm aware of.  When I check the Filter settings, it's same as usual;  *.

Thanks.

did you untick or change  any of the logging options on your nettalk Global extension?

[Jim A]

Thanks Poul, that's it. I appreciate having a lot of options -- just have trouble remembering where everything is.

Much obliged.

I have the same problem after updating to NT 7 (7.07) and StringTheory 1.77.    The problem appears to be limited the p_web._Trace, since dll and object messages appear in Debugview .    I have tried different options in the Log File tab of the NT Global Extension without getting any of the p_web._Trace messages to appear.    The NT documentation doesn't cover the Log File tab so I have left it with just Add NetTalk => 1 define turned on.   That define is showing in the Conditional Compile Symbols.

I suspect its a bug in StringTheory, but if anyone has another solution it would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

Same problem... _Trace() doesn't work

[terryd]

Me too

[robirenz]

so how do we get debugview to work again, I don't get the trace either...

Open StringTheory.clw and go to about line 1912 and you should see:

  stOutPutDebugString(szMsg)

Change it to:

  stOutPutDebugString(pMsg)

Here's the entire trace method:

StringTheory.Trace Procedure(<string errMsg>)
szMsg         cString(len(errMsg)+6)
pMsg          &Cstring
  code
    if omitted(2) 
        pMsg &= new cstring(self.LengthA()+6)
        pMsg = '[st] ' & self.GetValue()
        stOutPutDebugString(pMsg)
        dispose(pMsg)
    else
        szMsg = '[st] ' & Clip(errMsg)
        stOutPutDebugString(szMsg)
    end

Note that one call to outputdebugstring() uses pMsg and the other uses szMsg.
