DebugView++ with Message View

Inspired by @John_Hickey’s Clarion Live presentation, I created a simpler fork of DebugView++ that adds a View Message option for viewing full message text in separate windows, with some formatting options:

DebugView++ View Message

No changes to the main window or the core functionality were made, just the new options in the context menu and a few methods to link everything, so there should not be any compatibility problems when switching between the original and this fork.

The source code is available at GitHub. You can download the executable from Releases.

Nice. I’ll make a suggestion, being able to double click on the line and it opens the hilighted line in its own window, would be nice feature to speed things up a bit.

Yes, I initially thought about that, but since double-click is used to highlight a word, I discarded the idea.

But now, reading your comment, I think a good alternative is Ctrl-Click. I’ve just added a new release with this feature, and it is a lot faster to use. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yeah there’s lots of way to do it. I dont know what else it does regarding hot keys, but if you were to adopt the standard file explorer highlighting/selecting of files, a right mouse double click might be a better way to popup a window for each highlighted line.

So many ways to play it.

Interesting work!

One ui thought would be to have a splitter and expand / format the currently selected row

That way would have minimal clicking
