The Running Workspace

When you run your program, the IDE switches to the running workspace, which by default displays: You can change the default behavior of the running workspace under the Execution Settings node in the Options dialog box.

Execution View

The Execution View lists all applications currently running in the IDE. Each application has a contextual menu with one item: Terminate Process. Choosing this item terminates the running process.

If no applications are running, this dialog box displays the message <No processes running>.

Output Window

Each running application has a tab in the Output window. This tab displays the standard input and output of the application. The Output window might also include a Compiler tab, which displays compilation output and standard errors, and a Debugger tab, which displays messages from the debugger.

You can govern the use of the tabs in the Output window. The Execution Settings node in the Options window has an Output Tab Behavior property that controls the use of tabs in the Output window during program execution. You can clear the output from the Output window before running a program. This makes it easier to see which output applies to the current program. You can create a new tab in the Output window for each program execution. You can use the same tab for each program execution and specify that it not be cleared so that you can compare messages.
