Could you provide an option to forward all output to the 'OutputDebugString' API ?

[janwilmans]

I'm the author of debugview++, a problem I experience is that if I debug a program with visual studio the application sends to the OutputDebugString API is redirected/caught by the visual studio output window.

I provide an vs extension to send everything that is written to the output window to the OutputDebugString API, however, its a very limited extension, I wondered if you could just add this functionality in VSColorOutput

Do you have the source for your extension?

[janwilmans]

Yes, it is here

https://github.com/CobaltFusion/DebugViewPP/tree/master/OutputForwarderVSIX

basically all it does is: https://github.com/CobaltFusion/DebugViewPP/blob/master/OutputForwarderVSIX/Forwarder.cs#L71

take all the changes from GUID_BuildOutputWindowPane or GUID_OutWindowDebugPane
and write them to Trace.Write("")

It would be nice to be able to choose either or both:

[Settings] Forward output to Trace.Write: [x] Build Output (GUID_BuildOutputWindowPane ) [x] Debug Output (GUID_OutWindowDebugPane )

So if I understand, this is so you can see the output in other programs attached to the debugging session?

[janwilmans]

Exactly, the debug output windows of visual studio cannot be filtered, highlighted or anything really. Thats why I created Debugview++ (https://github.com/CobaltFusion/DebugViewPP) , it allows extensive filtering/highlighting and also different views.
