Message Functions

## Syntax

                lr.getDebugMessage( );

The lr.getDebugMessage function returns the current log runtime settings. These settings determine what information is output. The log settings are specified with the runtime settings dialog, or by using the lr.setDebugMessage function.

The debug messages are sent to the output window.

To evaluate the returned value, you can perform a bitwise AND operation. This allows you to determine which options are set.

## Return Values

lr.getDebugMessage returns runtime message settings for logging. The first table below shows the base values, one of which is always returned. The second table shows values that can be ORed with other values to refine the setting.

Log Level | C Language Constants | Object Oriented Constants | Value
--- | --- | --- | ---
Disabled | LR_MSG_CLASS_DISABLE_LOG | lr.MSG_CLASS_DISABLE_LOG | 0
Brief | LR_MSG_CLASS_BRIEF_LOG | lr.MSG_CLASS_BRIEF_LOG | 1
