Introduction
When writing TRACE statements to the output window in DevStudio, it is often useful to be able to go directly to the section of code that produced the TRACE output. Doing this is simple - you just use the __FILE__ and __LINE__ macros in your TRACE statements.
If you format your TRACE statement as follows:
TRACE(_T("%s(%i) : Please double click on me!\n"), __FILE__,__LINE__);
then you can double click on the TRACE output line and be taken directly to the line of code the produced the TRACE statement.
An example of using this can be found in the enclosed example. Note that in the example, I used the CDuration class by Laurent Guinnard.
