Hi,
I have a procedure which writes info to a log file. But I only need to activate this procedure only when debug the program (live run don't need to use this procedure).
How can I do that?
Thanks
 

Hello Alan
I found the following article by Brian Long very helpful:

I've created a menu item (say, in the File menu) called Debug, and assigned the Ctrl-D shortcut to it. Then I set Visible to False. In the handler, I merely invert a debug flag to indicate the current state (always starts as false). That way, I can always press Ctrl-D to invoke debugging, but it is hidden to the general user.

combination, since Ctrl+D is close enough to Ctrl+S (save), Ctrl+F (find),
Ctrl+Z,X,C,V (undo, cut, copy, paste) that I could see it getting hit
accidentally. i.e. just make it Shift+Ctrl+Alt+D or something...
