OutputDebugStringWrapW function

  • Article

[This function is available for use in Windows XP. It may not be available in subsequent versions. Use OutputDebugStringW in its place.]

Sends a Unicode string to the debugger for display.

Note

OutputDebugStringWrapW is a wrapper for the OutputDebugStringW function. See the OutputDebugString page for further usage notes.

 

Syntax

void OutputDebugStringWrapW(
  _In_ LPCWSTR lpOutputString
);

Parameters

lpOutputString [in]

Type: LPCWSTR

A pointer to the null-terminated Unicode string to be displayed.

Return value

This function does not return a value.

Remarks

OutputDebugStringWrapW provides the ability to use Unicode strings in operating systems prior to Windows XP. The preferred method is to use OutputDebugStringW in conjunction with the Microsoft Layer for Unicode (MSLU).

OutputDebugStringWrapW must be called directly from Shlwapi.dll, using ordinal 115.

If the application has no debugger, the system debugger displays the string. If the application has no debugger and the system debugger is not active, OutputDebugStringWrapW does nothing.
