How do I print on the output window in Visual C++? The project that I am working on isn’t of a console window project type. That’s when I build and run it, it doesn’t open a console window. Instead, it opens a win32 application, which isn’t built by me. I am just adding things to it.

I am pretty new to C++ and because I couldn’t print variables out on any console, it makes it very hard for me to debug.

Since the Visual Studio 2010 project doesn’t launch console when I build and run it, can I still print outputs such as variables and others on the Output window of the IDE?

Thanks for any help.

    You can use OutputDebugString("..."); to print to the Output window of Visual Studio. You have to #include <windows.h> though.
