    Get text out of outputdebugstring

    Hi, I am curious whether you guys have tried to get text out of outputdebugstring api? Meaning, when you run the vb6 exe and call outputdebugstring, it actually traces out into the DebugView application. Is there a way to get text out of that outputdebugstring api?

    If debugview prints out "Executing here...", and I would like my application to get that text out of that. But if there's no debugview running, is it still possible to get text out of that outputdebug string call?

    See Understanding Win32 "OutputDebugString".

    From OutputDebugString function:

    If the application has no debugger, the system debugger displays the string if the filter mask allows it. ... If the application has no debugger and the system debugger is not active, OutputDebugString does nothing.
    On Local Error Resume Next: If Not Empty Is Nothing Then Do While Null: ReDim i(True To False) As Currency: Loop: Else Debug.Assert CCur(CLng(CInt(CBool(False Imp True Xor False Eqv True)))): Stop: On Local Error GoTo 0
