iDAF Extended Event Logging

 Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

You can force iDAF to increase the detail level as it "tracks" what's happening within the application. To do so, add the command-line switch "/debug" (no quotes) to your iDAF shortcut. For more information on command-line switches, see the topic Command Line Switches.

You can temporarily enable additional application logging detail by checking the menu item Help |  Extended Event Logging. This enables extended event logging for the current session only.

When you run iDAF, actions the program takes, along with actions you take, are recorded to a file in the iDAF application directory. You can view the file while using iDAF by selecting Help | View Application Event Log, or view it later using a standard text editor like NotePad. The application event logging file name is documented in the topic List of Files.  The application event log view is similar to the following:

Use the horizontal and vertical scroll bars to navigate the display. Standard [PgUp] and [PgDn] keystrokes work, too. You can search for specific text in this dialog by checking the "Enable Search" item, which reveals a panel for entering the text to search for, setting search direction and other options.

When viewing text, you can assign up to 10 temporary bookmarks. To assign a bookmark, use the keystroke combination [Ctrl-Shift] + 0 to 9. A small marker becomes visible in the left margin of the line. To jump to a bookmark, use the keystroke [Ctrl] + 0 to 9. Bookmarks are lost when the dialog is closed.
