FYI, I have an EVENT LOGGING sample on my link page, shown below. It is
basic, but uses the Win. API to log events.

Best Regards,

Hello Didier,

1. Call SalStartTrace( TRACE_Event, "", TRUE )
2. Call SalTrace( EVENT_INFORMATION, "Message to Log" )
3. Call SalEndTrace( )

Where Can I Find The API and some examples

"Find The API and some examples" ????
The API is internal to Windows and is 'there' for you already. All you need
to do is declare the functions - and that's done for you in my sample! That's
what the sample is for...

"Examples" - well, the sample is an 'example' and other than that, you will
want to search the 'net for other possible VB or other code samples that
use those event functions.

P.S. I'm still puzzled about you asking to "Find the API" so I looked back
at my EVENT LOGGING sample.

If by "find" you mean the Ext. Lib. "STRCixx.DLL" (the "xx" will be your
version of TD, like 31, 42, etc.) then the answer is that the TD APL lib.
included the the product: cstructl.apl
should be in your Gupta TD directory and that APL is what will then incldue
STRUCixx.DLL".

Otherwise, you will need to clarify what you mean by "where can I find...".

Hi Didier,

If the Sal-Solution does not offer enough options,
you could try using the API-Functions directly.
advapi32.dll holds a function called ReportEventA,
what about that?
