Print statement and window
Posted: Wed Feb 23, 2011 8:52 am
Bernd,
it would be nice to have a Print statement like Basic had in the old days. All that would be needed is a window where this output is directed to. The output should be accumulated during the program execution. The window itself should have a boolean Show property.
I could do this on my own but I think it would be handy for beginners (pros as well) to have this facility built into the ObjB runtime classes resp. objects.
BTW: The Log command is helpful in the beginning, but I think it pollutes the system log. Regular output of an application should (in my opinion) be directed to the system log only if the user sets a certain log level for diagnostic reasons or an error condition occurs. Log feels "artificial" to me and Alert is only one shot without any memory.
Regards
Udo
