Hi,
I want to print a message to the Visual Studio Output
Window at run time. How can I do this?

Thanks for any help,

You can use "OutputDebugString".

If you use ATL or MFC you can also use the TRACE macros.

Do you need a memory-leak finder ?

Hamish,
In addition to Jochen's comments.

If you are using Managed C++, you can use the System.Diagnostics.Debug &
System.Diagnostics.Trace classes.

Which benefit from the Trace configuration in you app.config file. The
default is the Visual Studio Output Window at run time.

Hope this helps
Jay
