Compiler errors not visible

    Hi,

    A few weeks or months ago, I was not able to see compiler errors/warning message anymore, I am not sure when it happened. I cannot figure out how to show the messages again. I found out that the "memory tools" is now a separate Codesys download, so I downloaded it, and I clicked View -> Show Memory view or Show Memory Usage, but none of them show the error messages.

    How can I see the compiler error messages again? I attached some screenshots. "what_I_see.png" is what I currently have, and "what_I_want.png" is what I WANT to see.

    Also, I have Codesys 3.5 SP 14. I downloaded memorytools 3.5.16.0.

    Thanks,
    Jefferson

    View > Messages or Alt+3 should sort it.

    Hi, i-campbell,

    I just tried that, but still nothing shows up unfortunately.

    Thanks,

    Either he's hiding here (see screenshot) or...

    Solution 1:
    he is hiding at a screen position which you no longer have.
    If he is hiding in a screen position which you no longer have,

    • View > Messages will select him.
    • Alt+Spacebar will bring up a MSWindows movement menu which you should be able to see on the screen you do have.
    • From this menu, select "Move" and use the arrow keys of your keyboard to drag him back to the right spot.
    • Dock him.

    Solution 2:
    Window > Reset Window Layout > Yes

      The reset window layout worked!

      Thanks,

    Hi,
    I have the same situation and I tried the advice from here, but didn't worked:my error messages are still not sowing up in the Messages window. Do you have any idea why?
