Clear the window debugger [Resolved by NETMAESTRO]

[Kwai chang caine]

Hello everybody.

I want to know, if is possible to clear, with a code, the window debugger ?

Because, when i have many variables in a loop, i don't have the time to read all

[PB]

It's been requested but not implemented yet.

Thanks PB for your answer

It's not possible with the handle ?

What about Breakpoint + clear output + continue?

[netmaestro]

You can use mine, it's the one I use internally:

http://www.greatlakescode.com/ClearDebugWindow

Put it in your Userlibraries folder, remember to restart the compiler or ide.

Test program:

Code: Select all

Debug "Happy New Year!" 
Debug "Bullfrogs rule the world" 
Debug "Stand by for a cleared debug window in one second..." 
Debug "" 
Delay(1000) 
ClearDebugWindow()

Thanks Master of NET

I'm so sad, because i have put your library into the "C:\Program Files\PureBasic\v4.10\PureLibraries\UserLibraries", i run the PureBasic v4.20 Beta and nothing passed

Then, i have the same operation with the PureBasic v4.10 and i have the same resultat

The original version I posted was an earlier one that had a bug. Try downloading it again and see if it works for you. If the IDE is open, make sure you do Compiler->Restart Compiler. It is going to work, guaranteed.

I don't understand, i have download again your library.
I have close the pureBasic
I have put your library into the "C:\Program Files\PureBasic\v4.10\PureLibraries\UserLibraries"
I have run purebasic 4.10 and run your code.

And nothing works
It's the same result with Purebasic 4.20

I have perhaps did a mistake

[netmaestro]

Does the command "ClearDebugWindow()" automatically case-correct? I mean, is it recognized as a command? If so, what is the return value? It will return 1 if it believes it was successful, 0 if not.

[Kwai chang caine]

I have write this code in the IDE of PureBasic v4.20 :

Code: Select all

Debug "Happy New Year!" 
Debug "Bullfrogs rule the world" 
Debug "Stand by for a cleared debug window in one second..." 
Debug "" 
Delay(1000) 
Debug ClearDebugWindow() 

And the return of debugger is :

Code: Select all

Happy New Year!
Bullfrogs rule the world
Stand by for a cleared debug window in one second...

0

They are no error message.
I think the instruction is reconized :roll:

I have again make a mistake

[netmaestro]

AHA!! I know what the problem is, it's a language barrier. The code looks for a window with title "Debug Output -" as the first 14 characters but you're not using English, are you? Yours is a different language I'll bet. What is the window title of your debug output window?

[milan1612]

Should be "Messages du débogueur - " (according to the language file)

[Kwai chang caine]

@ Milan1612
Yes

@NETMAESTRO
You are so clever

The title of my debugger is :

Messages du débogueur -
