Title: Output tab
Post by: danielh on September 10, 2010, 03:02:03 AM

Hi,

Dumb rookie question, I'm afraid.  I'd like to have my code's output appear in the output tab rather than the black console window thingy.  Is there an easy way to accomplish this?

Thanks,
Daniel

If you create a console application the program will be run in the DOS console, since this is what a console application is created for.

There will be no PellesC IDE available, when running your program standalone.

New idespawn.exe with dll is needed for that.

EDIT:
Add Tools menu Run command and run program with it.

Menu text: Run
Command: cmd.exe
Arguments: /k $(TargetPath)
 Tick  Use Output tab

I don't know, if this will help you.

But you can register your program to the tools with Tools->Customize->Tools and use the button "Use Output Tab" to redirect the programs out to the output tab.

Thanks very much folks.  Especially timovjl - that was exactly what I was looking for.
