Different Colors inside VisualStudio 2012 output window

Question

Is it really possible to have Visual Studio 2012 output window display the custom message in different colors?

I am displaying the errors/warnings from the Node console onto VS output window and I can get the messages displayed but the color codes are ansi format and gets rendered onto the output window as codes.

I know there are some extensions available but i am looking for a way to have the ansi color codes getting displayed as proper colors inside VS 2012.

Any help is appreciated !!

Thanks.

Answer 1

VSCommands for Visual Studio 2012 will do this for you. It will let you change the colours for errors and so forth. (It also has some other very useful features, so it's well worth installing IMHO. Works fine with Resharper.)

Answer 2

The ANSI colours are not supported by Visual Studio itself.

You could install the VSColorOutput extension to get some basic colours supported. You can also download the code and modify it to meet the requirements.
