Writing to the Event Log in Delphi

Question

How can I get an application to write debug text to the Event Log window in the Delphi IDE (Borland Developer Studio 2006)?

How does one change the color of the text?

Answer 1

OutputDebugString('Hello,World');

I think you may need to add Windows to your 'uses' list. Not 100% sure on that...

The text colour can't be changed as far as I know: It's a feature of the Delphi IDE that it adds additional messages into that window for thread start/stop, DLL load/unload, with their own specific colour.
