Declaration
class LogTargetConsole : public ILogTarget;Description
The LogTargetConsole class is a Windows console ILogTarget implementation. It writes messages to the attached console and changes the console text colour based on message severity.
This target is compiled only when the INCLUDE_LOGTARGETCONSOLE preprocessor symbol is enabled. It opens the attached console through CONOUT$ rather than assuming the standard output handle is a console.
Important
Call OpenConsoleHandle before expecting messages to appear. If no console handle is open, LogMessage returns without writing output.
