Debout32() to outside app

Hi all,

I try to get the output of DebOut32() on an external app like TailXp or DebugView..
On a full X# solution, I can only have output on the Output window in VS, and only if the "Enable umanaged debugging" property is checked on the Debug tab of the project property.
Is there any way to redirect outside VS ?

Thanks for help,

Thierry

Thierry,

I think VS intercepts this, so there is no way to show this in an outside window.

Thierry,

When a Visual Studio app is run in debug mode (Start or F5), debug output created with DebOut() or System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine() etc. is intercepted by Visual Studio and shows only on the Output window of Visual Studio. It does not show in DebugView (SysInternals) or in DebugView++ (https://github.com/CobaltFusion/DebugViewPP/releases).

If the app is started without debugging (Debug -> Start Without Debugging or Ctrl+F5), the debug output does show in DebugView or DebugView++.

I don't think that the setting "Enable unmanaged debugging" has anything to do with this.

Kees.
