How to hide the Delphi compiler messages that aren't related to warnings and hints?

delphi

Solution

AFAIK, there is no option available in the IDE to filter the messages window. You will probably have to look for a third-party solution.

Problem

I am using Delphi XE4 but the problem should happens in much earlier version of Delphi IDE. When compile a project group that contain more than 100+ projects, the `Messages` window show something like this: ``` Checking project dependencies... Building SQL.Alpha.resource.core.dproj (Debug, Win32) Building SQL.Alpha.resource.datamap.dproj (Debug, Win32) Building SQL.Alpha.resource.db.dproj (Debug, Win32) Building SQL.Alpha.resource.module.dproj (Debug, Win32) Building SQL.Alpha.resource.styles.dproj (Debug, Win32) Building SQL.Alpha.resource.images.dproj (Debug, Win32) Building SQL.Alpha.resource.script.dproj (Debug, Win32) Building SQL.Alpha.resource.report.fastreport.dproj (Debug, Win32) Building SQL.Alpha.resource.report.reportbuilder.dproj (Debug, Win32) Building SQLAlpha.dproj (Debug, Win32) [dcc32 Hint] SQLAlpha.dpr(10): H2164 Variable 'k' is declared but never used in 'SQLAlpha' Success Elapsed time: 00:00:02.0 ``` It is getting harder to identify Hints and Warnings from the windows when the list is growing. The `Building...` messages always show when compile the projects.
