The Trace Viewer used with irAuthor and irVerify is also accessible from the SDK. It is available as a popup Window and an embeddable control.

Using the Trace Viewer Window

using (var trace = log.GetExecutionTrace()){

 // Call static method to launch default trace viewer 
 ExecutionTraceWindow.Show(trace);

 //If any configuration of the window is required, the static method returns the window object, 
 // which can be used to set configuration options as shown here.

 // Static method returns reference window to the window in case further configuration is required 
 var window = ExecutionTraceWindow.Show(trace);

// Hide export window 
 window.ShowExportMenu = false;

 // Reusing same detail panel 
 window.DetailPopupMode = TraceEventDetailPopupMode.ShowInExistingWindow; 
}

Embedding the Trace Viewer Control

var log = ruleSession.LastRuleExecutionLog;// Create an instance of the control 
var view = new ExecutionTraceView();

// Specify if you want to see the Export menu (default is visible) 
view.ShowExportMenu = false;

// Specify if you want the detail windows to be reused or to create a new window each time 
// Details window is displayed when clicking hyperlink or double clicking on the row 
view.DetailPopupMode = TraceEventDetailPopupMode.ShowInNewWindow;

// Load the trace into the viewer 
// Options include IExecutionTrace, ExecutionLog (used here) or path to trace file 
view.Load(log);
