VB/WinAPI, Event Log: Writing to the NT Event Log

Event Log: Writing to the NT Event Log

Author	Message
Fran #1 / 3	Event Log: Writing to the NT Event Log I needed to write to the NT event log using VB5. Due to the VB App object gives me the capabilitie to do this, I tried, and i found it doens't worked. Following the instructions given by an MS TechNet article, I used an alternative way to get this using some API's. The sample worked fine, and I made a class to make all this easily. My question is: When I write into the log, all looks good, except the message itself. Instead of my message , the following statemente appears: The description for Event ID ( myEventNumber ) in Source ( myApp ) could not be found. It contains the following insertion string(s): MyMessage. I mean, the parameters works well, and my message appears, but after all this stuff. I don't know the reason who makes this message appear Any help? Fran

Christopher J. Spies #3 / 3	Event Log: Writing to the NT Event Log In order for an application to read back your message in a formatted state you need to supply a binary containing the formatted string to use. You need to understand how to read the event log for all this to make sense. VBPJ covered both reading and writing to the log in a two part column last fall(?).
