[UNIFACE-L:4776] Force a running application into debug

Hi folks:

The UNIFACE 7.2.06 runtime (uniface.exe) allows us to force the application
into debug by pressing Ctrl+Y at any time during execution of the
application, if the .asn file has no $KEYBOARD setting in the [SETTINGS]
section. However, in 8.3.02 we don't seem to have this ability. How can we
get it back?

We know we can force an application into debug using udbg with the /deb
command line option, but this is not nearly as convenient as the Ctrl+Y
capability we had with 7.2.06.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Try putting the DEBUG statement in the <Switch keyboard> trigger of the
application startup shell. This works in version 8.2.03 at least.

Hi mark,


With default keyboard layout, CTRL + Y triggers the Switch keyboard
trigger.
You can just place a debug command in your startup shell "Switch keyboard"
trigger.

Preferably doing that on a special test startup shell you may use for
debugging purpose
(not the one your users will have).
Or in your startup shell, by testing the presence of some logical you'll
define

something like :

<SWITCH_KEYBOARD>
if ($logical("ALLOW_DEBUG")>1)
debug
endif

Hope this helps

I think you need the
$TRACE_IS_TRUE
setting in your asn file.

Usually, the CTRL+Y will activate the SWITCH-KEYBOARD trigger, so the old tip is still working:
Try putting the DEBUG statement in the <Switch keyboard> trigger of the
application startup shell.
