clear output window from code?

The output window gets filled with stuff while I am debugging my app. Is
there a way to programmaticall y clear the output window? I have read that
there is currently no explicit method to do this in VS.Net.

I vaguely recall reading something about adding a bunch of spaces at the top
of the window to push everything down and then place the cursor at the top
left corner of the output window. How to do this? Or is there a method
now? What is that method?

Thanks,
Rich

I don't know how to do it from code, but you can right-click on it and
select Clear.

2005.

Promises, promises. You say this all the time so go and hassle the
dreamweaver newsgroup. Oh, and let us know when your full blown windows
application is finished in PHP.

good stuff

I don't need full blown windows apps lol

I mean seriously here
if Microsoft kills off VB; i'll be damned if I use VB for anything; I
mean- it's real simple logic.

MICROSOFT FUCKED UP AND I AM NOT GOING TO PUSH THEIR WARES ANY LONGER.

VB 2002,2003,2005-- these just don't work on any windows desktops; I
mean..

a) nobody has the goddamn framework
b) even if they have the framework; there is compatability issues with
Vista
c) IDE is not stable
d) startup times = 5 seconds? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THEY SOLD US ON
PERFORMANCE AND YET IT IS SLOWER?? WTF??

I was thinking...not always a good thing...is there a way to clear your screen. Like my current program asks a question and then posts 6 possible answers to choose from. Once a valid answer is chosen, it goes on to the next question, but it is hard to follow, so I was wondering if I could clear the screen after the answer was given and start with a fresh screen for each question.

Hi, I am trying to clear the screen in my program. I am loking for something that will work on all compilers, especially Borland & MS Visual Studio 6. On Visual studio I used 'system("cls");' and this works fine but this won't work for Borland. On Borland I used 'clrscr() ' function and it worked ok, but not for Visual Studio.

Hi Guys, What I am trying to do is dump a bunch of information to my debug window in visual studio 6 using TRACE. After about ~150 lines the debug output stopps. I am doing this in a loop, so my assumption is the buffer is being overrun and is being output to the debug window as soon as it gets to the end of the loop. Here is similar sample code: for (int i=0; i<num_of_fields; i++) { TRACE("*************** Table %i...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
