c++ - Simplest way to write output message to 'output window' in Visual Studio 2010?

Question

I've tried OutputDebugString function and most of the time I get error like :

error C2664: 'OutputDebugStringA' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'int' to 'LPCSTR'

Please suggest. Thanks.

Answer 1

It only accepts a string as a parameter, not an integer. Try something like

sprintf(msgbuf, "My variable is %d
", integerVariable);
OutputDebugString(msgbuf);
