Was Seeing Trace Output in VS IDE But Now I Don't

[eBob.com]

I finally discovered Trace.Writeline and am using it in an application I am
developing. Everytime I ran the application (Debug under VS) I saw the
Trace.Writeline output in a (sub)window in the VS IDE window. But now it
has disappeared and I have no idea why. I certainly did nothing
intentionally to make it disappear. I think that I somehow closed the (sub)
window in which it was appearing, but I have no idea how to get that window
back. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Bob

Try "Debug" "Windows" "Output" in the menu ...

Thank you so much for your response Patrice. To be honest I don't think I
noticed the Windows item on the Debug menu before. BUT ... the Windows menu
has no Output item!

I don't trust myself, and you shouldn't either, to be noticing all entrys.
So to convince both of us here is a complete list of the items I see on the
Debug>Windows menu: Breakpoints, Running Documents, Watch, Autos, Locals,
This, Immediate, Call Stack, Threads, Modules, Memory, Disassembly, and
Registers.

Thanks, Bob

Whoops, reply below was composed while I was debugging an application. When
no application is being debugged the Debug>Windows menu has only two items:
Breakpoints and Immediate.

Humm...

You could just click on the toolbar area, click right and choose customize
in the context menu. Choose then the command tab and drop the "Output"
command in the "Debug" category and drop this in an existing toolbar. From
there you should be able to recover this window.

Depending on what is the problem you could also use "Tools" "Import and
Export Settings" to reset your settings (I believe I'm using "General")...

Thank you again Patrice. I do not see an Output choice in the Debug
category. I should have said at the outset that I am using MDE 2003,
Version 7.1.

BUT ... I have found the solution ... View > Other Windows > Output. I did
notice this before my original post, but I was looking for something called
"Trace Output" or maybe "Debug Output".

Thanks again for you help.

Argh ! Good job. I didn't thought you were still using VS 2003 (MDE ??)...

Glad to have provided at least moral support
