[Demosthenes Koptsis]

here is an example i did.
if you like it you can use it.


---------------
' Gambas class file
PUBLIC hLog AS Stream
PUBLIC sFilename AS String = User.Home &/ ".MyLog.txt"
PUBLIC sLogEntry AS String

PUBLIC SUB Form_Open()

hLog = OPEN sFilename FOR APPEND 

END

PUBLIC SUB Button1_Click()

  sLogEntry = "Button1 was clicked"
  WriteToLog(Application.Name & " # " & Application.Version & " # " &
Now & " # " & sLogEntry)

END

PUBLIC SUB WriteToLog(sString AS String)

  PRINT #hLog, sString 

END

PUBLIC SUB Form_Close()
  
  hLog.Close
  
END
