LogMode

Returns a LogModeConstants value indicating the active logging mode for the application. Read-only.

Syntax: object.LogMode

object: required An object expression that evaluates to an _App object. In practice this is the global App object.

LogMode reflects the logging state most recently set by a call to StartLogging. The possible values are listed below.

Constant	Value	Description
vbLogAuto	0	Logging mode is selected automatically. When running inside the IDE, log entries are sent to the debug console; when running as a compiled executable, they are written to a file.
vbLogOff	1	Logging is disabled. No entries are written.
vbLogToFile	2	Log entries are written to a file specified by LogPath.
vbLogToNT	3	Log entries are written to the Windows Event Log.
vbLogOverwrite	16	Combined with vbLogToFile: overwrite the log file each time the application starts instead of appending.
vbLogThreadID	32	Combined with vbLogToFile or vbLogToNT: prefix each log entry with the thread ID.

Note

In the current twinBASIC release, LogMode only reflects vbLogOff and vbLogAuto. The other constants are defined for compatibility with VB6 but are not yet fully supported.

Example

This example checks the current log mode and prints it to the debug console.

Select Case App.LogMode
    Case vbLogOff
        Debug.Print "Logging is off."
    Case vbLogAuto
        Debug.Print "Logging is automatic."
    Case vbLogToFile
        Debug.Print "Logging to file: " & App.LogPath
    Case vbLogToNT
        Debug.Print "Logging to Windows Event Log."
End Select
