The Log window displays status reports, warnings and errors occurred during working with Embedded Wizard. Similarly all project search results and the prototyping and debugging outputs are collected in this window. The window is arranged per default in the bottom-left area of Embedded Wizard Studio:

Log window

The messages are displayed strictly in the order in which they have been collected. Every message is decorated with an individual icon reflecting the message type. If the message is related to a particular location within the project, this location appears in the message upper text row. In the case the message is not related to any project location, the upper row limits to show the generic type of the message only.

Following table provides an overview of all message types:

Icon	Type	Description
	Information	Messages of this type provide common information. Such messages appear to inform you, that a particular operation took place or just begun.
	Success	Messages of this type inform you, that a particular operation was finalized successfully.
	Warning	Messages of this type appear when a potential problem has been detected. You should inspect the message and eventually fix the problem. For example, when a local variable is declared but not used, a warning is reported.
	Error	Messages of this type appear when a problem has been detected. You should inspect and fix the problem. For example, when a non existing variable is used within an expression, an error is reported.
	Debug	Messages of this type appear during prototyping and debugging of the GUI application. For example, every execution of the trace statement produces a debug message.
	Search	Messages of this type appear during project search operation. For every occurrence matching the search condition a corresponding message appears in the Log window.

Usually the Log window is visible all the time. However, if you have hidden the window unintentionally, you can show it again:

Using the described menu item or the shortcut while the Log window is already visible causes the window to become focused only. Subsequently you can interact with the Log window by using the keyboard without the necessity to previously click on it with the mouse.

Messages related to particular project members can be inspected causing the affected locations being shown in the Composer, Code Editor or Inspector window. This is usually the case of warning, error, search or debug messages.

Alternatively you can:

As long as the Log window is focused you can inspect the messages also by using following keyboard shortcuts:

Besides the above described approach to inspect a single Log window message Embedded Wizard provides functionality to simply traverse through the collected messages. This is in particular very useful when there is a lot of messages collected and you need to inspect all of them step by step.

Please note, that the function to traverse through the messages takes only those messages in account which in fact are related to a location within the project.

Messages which have been inspected appear in the Log window slightly grayed out. In this manner it is simply to recognize which messages have not yet been inspected and which are already evaluated.

If necessary the inspect status of a single message can be toggled individually.

As long as the Log window is focused you can toggle the message status also by using following keyboard shortcuts:

To remove all currently collected messages do following:

All currently collected messages can easily be copied as text into the clipboard. Subsequently, the copied messages can be pasted within an email or documentation.

As long as the Log window is focused you can copy the messages also by using following keyboard shortcut:

Usually the Log window is visible all the time. If necessary the window can be hidden easily:

Once hidden the Log window can be made visible again:

Per default the Log window appears docked at the edge of the Embedded Wizard main window. Accordingly, when you move or resize the main window the Log window is arranged automatically. If desired you can change this behavior and undock the Log window so it appears floating and independent above the main window. In this manner you can arrange it e.g. on another monitor. To achieve this:

Please note the dotted border which is shown while dragging the Log window. The border indicates the mode and position where the window will appear after you have released the mouse button. In particular, thin border indicates that the window will be docked at the given edge of the main window. The thick border, in turn, means that the window will appear undocked exact at the given position. The border changes automatically depending on how close to the edges you move the window:

Once the window is undocked and floating above the main window you can click on its caption and move it wherever it is convenient for you. If desired you can resize the window by clicking and dragging on its edges. If you want the Log window to appear again docked within the main window do following:
