Ways to insert unique ID into a logging function

[ahmd]

Have you considered calling the API functions that generate GUID's?

It's a good idea about GUIDs. The API wouldn't work though, because those IDs have to be hard coded in the source code. I'm picturing it as a separate app that will generate a GUID after a button click and place it onto the clipboard.

That actually gave me an idea. I can use something smaller for an ID (the problem with GUID is that it's too unwieldy to operate with). The question is, what is easier: Use a piece of paper to write down those IDs in sequential order as I add them, or write a small APP that will keep track of them and dispense them one at a time

Still, I believe there's nothing in the precompiler that can do this for me, is there?
