How to write to NT Event Log???

Hello All, can anyone please tell me how to write to window NT's Event Log? A link to a site is good enough. Thank you.

This will do the trick:

The gap between theory and practice is not as wide in theory as it is in practice.

Or a simple method to get you started, note this only works from the compiled exe.


Call App.StartLogging("", vbLogToNT)

Call App.LogEvent("Information", vbLogEventTypeInformation)
Call App.LogEvent("Error message", vbLogEventTypeError)
Call App.LogEvent("Warning", vbLogEventTypeWarning)

I tested and it works. Thanks. But how can I changed the Source name under the Source column in Event view to my application name? thanks

If you want that, you'll need to spend some money on a NT Event logger control (DesaWare has a nice one), or write a lot of Win32 API calls. Follow TerraSamba's link for that.
