Is it possible to hide TwinCAT3 EventLogger messages from the Error List window in Visual Studio?


I have a project with a nicly working setup using the TwinCAT3 EventLogger. I use the FB_TcAlarm a lot to raise/clear and acknowledge alarms. All these alarms and there states show-up on the TcHmiEventGrid and the Logged Events window in Visual Studio.

What I don't like however, the alarms also show up in the Error List window in Visual Studio. Here are also the compile errors/warnings reported.

I want to reserve the Error List window for compile errors and such. So I don't want the TC event logger alarms to show here. I will inspect them via the other available means.

Is there a way to achieve this? Thank you for any help.


Solution

  • You can prevent the event logger messages from showing up in the error list by selecting Tools > Options > TwinCAT XAE Environment > EventLogger and then set Output as Task Item to False.
