I seek for good debug system becase the integrated is too slow..

Of course its slow, youre running a debugger. If you want speed yet still want to trap things as they occur there is always the use of a CONST variable. Such as

CONST DEBUG_MODE = true

if DEBUG_MODE
do stuff
end if

CONST variables in if statements etc dont get compiled into the final code if they are not met. So setting that value to false will have zero theoretical impact on your code. This way you can create your own custom console or messaging system to trap things. Noting that blitz text command is slow as hell, so you may end up faster running in the standard debugger :)

take a look at DebugView: http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/sysinternals/bb896647(en-us).aspx

.lib "kernel32.dll"

api_OutputDebugString (lpOutputString$) : "OutputDebugStringA"


Graphics3d 800,600,0,2
Apptitle" Dbgview Sample"
Global hWnd=Systemproperty("ApphWnd") 

While not Keyhit(1)
   if mousehit(1)
      api_OutputDebugString("left mousebutton hit")
      
   elseif mousehit(2)
       api_OutputDebugString("right mousebutton hit")
       
   elseif mousehit(3)
       api_OutputDebugString("middle mousebutton hit")
       
    elseif keyhit(57)
       api_OutputDebugString("hwnd=" +hwnd)
       
   endif
   text(10,10,".) start Dbgview.exe")
   text(10,25,".) press left, right or middle mousebutton")
   text(10,40,".) press space for hwnd")
   flip
wend
end

cheers, chi
