WINDEV Concepts

Part 4: Advanced concepts 153 3 Testing and debugging a WINDEV project on the user computer WINDEV includes multiple methods to test and debug a project on the development computer. However, in some cases, you may have to debug directly on the end-user computer (connected over the network or via the Internet). You can, for example, debug an application executed in Taiwan from your office in Paris. The debugging is performed remotely, directly on the user configuration. Two features are available: • Running and debugging the executable on a remote computer, • Debugging an application currently running on a remote computer. For these two features, a specific configuration of the remote computer is required. Remark : to debug a WINDEV application remotely, the application must include the WD300CPL.DLL library in its framework. For more details, see the online help. 4 Testing a window 4.1 Testing a window from the editor To test a window from the editor: 1. Open the window to be tested. 2. Click in the quick access buttons (or press F9). The editor is automatically minimized and the window is run. During the test, all window features can be run. You will be able to open other windows, for example. 4.2 Stopping the window test There are multiple methods to stop the test: • 1st method: Close the application being tested. WINDEV goes back to editor that was open when the test was started. • 2nd method: • Go back to the editor via the taskbar or press Alt + Tab. • Stop the test. WINDEV goes back to editor that was open when the test was started.
