Some inconveniences when using OutputDebugString

[lucky6969b]

When I dump some information to the output console,
it is mixed along with the system messages.
Are there anyways that I can separate them into 2 output windows?
Thanks

The alternative that I know of (and use) is to use DebugView with a specific filter applied.

Hello, back in here.
OS: windows 7 x64 ultimate SP1
Compiler: Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate with SP1

I just tried it this afternoon, and discovered that it can't capture x64 applications debug strings.
Just tried it, but the official site says it does work for x64. Just don't understand why.
Thanks

I don't think debug view works while a debugger is attached. Forgot about that.

Okay, it works now....

alternatively, you can (conditionally) create a console window explicitely (even in a GUI app) via AllocConsole (can only have 1 per process).

and instead of using outputdebugstring write your (debug) output to that console specifically.
