I know that I can use ReportEvent method to write event logs in windows. But it seems to me that this method is useful for logging events prior to Windows Vista and 7 event log changes. For example, I don't think I can create a custom application log, set sessionID, ... using this library.

My other option will be using the System::Diagnostics methods like WriteEntry. This one has the features that I'm looking for, but the problem is that I can only use it in /clr mode.

My question is: is there any unmanaged C++ library for logging events to Windows 7?

Cheers, Reza++

  • @Luke: I'm not sure how I can use EWT to log to Windows Event Viewer. I could only make it work to output in an .etl file Commented Sep 9, 2011 at 18:41
  • I've only ever used the legacy API; I don't know anything about the new API other than it exists. Commented Sep 9, 2011 at 19:26

Thanks @Luke, the answer is ETW. For writting to event logger, you can not use the legacy API and you should use the manifest-based providers.
