I normally use an Alert Form (DebugAlert) with a "^1" in it's message. I
call
FrmDoCustomAlert( DebugAlert, "my message", NULL, NULL )
to make the palm stopping with my message here. Remember that "my message"
must be stored in "global space" (not on the stack in a local Char array).
You can spice this up by using
#define Debug(x) FrmDoCustomAlert(x,NULL,NULL)
and use
#define Debug(x) /*nothing*/
to get rid of all messages at once after debugging this way.
But you should also consider using a debugger which is normally
far more helpful. You can set a breakpoint and watch local and global
variables from there in order to locate problems.
