Filter out events from the log

Question

I am planning on exporting the logs of all my tests, but it shows all the events in the test. This is very unhelpful. I can limit them on TestComplete, but not when exporting. How do I show only the message types I want?

I tried Log.LockEvents(); and that didn't do anything

I can't use Log.enabled = false because that would suppress ALL logging events. I still need the errors, but not the individual keys and clicks messages.

Thanks

Hi,
&nbsp;
You can try calling Log.Enabled=false inside the OnLogEvent event handler. In this case, you will block posting all events to the Test Log. However, all other types of messages (errors, messages, etc.) will be successfully posted.
Does it work for you?

Hi,&nbsp;what tanya means it include the Log.Enabled=false inside the OnLogEvent event.i.e.&nbsp;use below&nbsp;function GeneralEvents_OnLogEvent(Sender, LogParams){&nbsp; &nbsp; Log.Enabled = false;}&nbsp;This should work for you. This can also be made sure like&nbsp;&nbsp;function GeneralEvents_OnLogEvent(Sender, LogParams){&nbsp; &nbsp; Log.Enabled = false;}function GeneralEvents_OnLogMessage(Sender, LogParams){&nbsp; &nbsp; Log.Enabled = true;}&nbsp;hope this helped

As I said initially, I can't use Log.Enabled = false. &nbsp;I still need to see the errors. &nbsp;I don't&nbsp;care about the events.

I feel the same way. I found a workaround that seems to work, although it isn't ideal.&nbsp;&nbsp;Assuming the events will almost always have Additional Text &nbsp;populated, I&nbsp;use that to identify the system-generated log items. So I added an event handler which I applied to Events, Messages, and Warnings. When I want to manually log one of these items, I'll either not supply Additional Text, or will prefix it&nbsp;with a ^ (which I check for).&nbsp;I've been using this approach for about a year and haven't found any instances where&nbsp;something is getting excluded that shouldn't, and everything I&nbsp;do want excluded has been.&nbsp;&nbsp;function GeneralEvents_SuppressSystemLogging(Sender, LogParams)

if len(logparams.additionaltext) &gt; 0 then
        if aqstring.find(LogParams.additionaltext ,"^", 0, false) = -1 then
            logparams.locked = true
            GeneralEvents_SuppressSystemLogging = true
        else
            logparams.locked = false
            logparams.additionaltext = aqstring.replace(logparams.additionaltext, "^", "", false)
            GeneralEvents_SuppressSystemLogging = false
        end if
    else
        logparams.locked = false
        GeneralEvents_SuppressSystemLogging = false
    end if
end function

In this case, creating the OnLogEvent event handler will work for your needs. I recommend that you read the following articles to learn how to implement this:
"Creating Event Handlers for TestComplete Events"&nbsp;
"OnLogEvent Event"&nbsp;
