When a compiler (e.g., Build Manager) processes a project file or links the project it creates a child process with redirected standard handles (STDOUT and STDERR). The child process runs in a hidden window. Any captured output is displayed in the output windows after the process ends.

 

 

Search in the Output windows

Output windows allows you to search for strings via the Find window.

•By right-clicking in the window and selecting Options from the context menu or

•Selecting Tools | Options | Colors and Fonts.
