I tried using cout << "Hello"; but this does not print anything. |

Could be that you didn't RTFM! It is probably due to the fact that you are compiling a windows app and not a console app. Maybe? I'ts like saying 'I tried building a WOODEN box with PLASTIC parts!' |

I didn't pose the question correctly, sorry about that. I don't want to create a console app, but I want to create a normal allegro app and print out to the output window of Visual Studio (not the windows console). Is that possible? |

Try ATLTRACE(), it works like printf. _________________________________________________ |

Look up the definition of OutputDebugString function in MSDN. I always wondered why Microsoft IDEs don't capture stdout and stderr like all other environments. But what am I saying...you can't expect otherwise from the company that introduced WinMain. |

Thanks! I also found an alternative: freopen("file.txt", "w", stdout); This will redirect all standard output to the file "file.txt". So every time you make a cout call, the output goes to the file. Each subsequent call appends to the file. |

... and if you install some unix tools on your windows you can watch the file change in realtime with #tail -f __________ |

I think it was msys from mingw homepage. Either that or something that came with KDE4-windows alpha packages. __________ |
