VC8 output window questions

[forester]

I am new to VC8, I tried to build a test project with it. what I got in the output window was dozens of warnings and a few errors, it was very difficult to locate the error messages within the output messages.

Is there any method that can make the output window only show the error messages or show the error messages in group A and warnings in group B in the output window? Thanks !

Firstly the warnings in a project are important, they often highlight things that could become problems even if they aren't currently errors. I suggest that once you have narrowed down your errors you treat your warnings in the same way.

I think you need to go into Project -> Settings, go to the C/C++ tab and under Warning Level, select "None".

This is the menu in VC6.0 anyway, I expect until someone posts the exact method in VC8 you might be able to find it yourself using this info.

Also, this post should normally appear in the correct section on the forum, i.e. Visual C++ discussion. I expect it will be moved soon.

Hope this helps.

You can also change the sort order to make the error appear first in the list.

Just right click, select sort order and change it from 'Default' to 'Category'.

Thank you!
If the errro messages and warnings in different colors, for example, errors in red color, it will be easy to find the lines of the error messages.

They do have different icons. Also the category numbers are different.
