While writing your application in Delphi, you will probably use the standalone mode to debug your application. When run as an application, a debugging screen appears with basic statistics. This screen also contains an Execute (Run | Execute or F9) option, which can be used to test execute the application in the browser. By clicking on it, the default browser will be launched with the
corresponding URL to test the application.

The StandAlone Debug Form

The default window in StandAlone mode allows you to perform very basic debugging operations.

The label marked (2) in the picture displays the number of active connections to the current application. The area marked with (1) in the picture represents the debug area. To activate logging to the debug area, select "Options | Show Debug Information" from the menu.

Writing custom messages to the debug area

To write your custom messages in the debug area you may use the method "Log" of the StandAlone window. In Intraweb for Delphi, the default StandAlone window is of type TFormIWMain and is declared in the unit IWMain. In Intraweb for Visual Studio .NET the default StandAlone window is of type Main declared in the Atozed.Intraweb.NETMain namespace.

The "Log" method takes a parameter AMsg of type string, which represents the message to be written in the debug area.
