Double clicking on output window text (MSVS 6.0)

[sloojer]

Hello

I know about TRACE command to write info to the output window in Visual Studio.

I would like to know if it is possible to link text in the ouput window to lines in the code as with the error/warning messages when you compile? i.e. I could double click on the line of text and it would go to a source/header file.

Cheers

Yes, just make the message with the format:

<FilePathName>(<LineNumber>): <ErrorMessage>

Replacing the <>'s with the appropriate values of course. For example:

TRACE("%s(%d): %s", __FILE__, __LINE__, "Error!");
