I am using the Turbo C++ Explorer IDE, and I need to print some statements to aid in my debugging endeavours. I have written out the statements, and they even compile correctly, but for some reason i cannot seem to figure out where the output goes. The logical place would be for it to go to the event log window, but it does not go there either.
What am I missing here?
 
I have not used turbo c++ but..

instead of using cout etc..can you not write the messages to disk file and then check the file after the run...?



Hope this helps!

I agree with BuilderSpec. A file output is a little more permanent. However, if you are running a Windows program and you want a screen report, you might be better off using messages instead of cout, etc. Windows tends to hide output not sent through a Windows API. Try MessageBox or MessageDlg.

i ended up doing it both ways, it wasnt the most effective, but it helped me to diagnose where/why my code was crashing. Thanks
