Store errors/log data into the windows event viewer

[GoogleDude]

I searched but didnt really come up with anything.

Are there any UDFs out there that allow me to create a category for compiled script in the Windows Event Viewer in the event that my scripts set and error levels or var$ data maybe. Kinda like System or Applications Logs now Internet Explorer has its own category. I would like to have my own.

Thanks,

This is probably not what you want but you could do something like this:

Func LogEvent($strLocation, $strType, $IntID, $strSource, $strEventMessage)
    Local $CheckEventViewer = RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EventLog\YOURENTRY","EVENTVIEWERNAME")
    
    If Not $CheckEventViewer Then
        RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\EventLog\YOURENTRY","EVENTVIEWERNAME","REG_DWORD","1")
    EndIf
    
    Sleep(200)
    
    RunWait("EVENTCREATE /T " & $strType & " /ID " & $IntID & " /L " & $strLocation & " /SO " & $strSource & " /D " & CHR(34) & $strEventMessage & CHR(34),@SystemDir,@SW_HIDE)
EndFunc

The above function will check to make sure that event viewer entry is there and if it is it will log everything you specify within that event viewer log.

DarkMatter, could you please explain these variables? $strLocation, $strType, $IntID, $strSource, $strEventMessage

    If Not $CheckEventViewer Then
        RegWrite("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\EventLog\YOURENTRY","EVENTVIEWERNAME","REG_DWORD","1")
    EndIf
    
    Sleep(200)
    
    RunWait("EVENTCREATE /T " & $strType & " /ID " & $IntID & " /L " & $strLocation & " /SO " & $strSource & " /D " & CHR(34) & $strEventMessage & CHR(34),@SystemDir,@SW_HIDE)
