Visual mc is a graphical editor for creating EventLog Message Files (.mc) to use with Microsoft's Message Compiler (1.x). It can integrate into Visual Studio 6.0 or work as a standalone product.
NT Event logging is a reliable and convenient way for software developers to record vital software and hardware events in a standardized and centralized manner. The Event Viewer provides a comprehensive overview of all these events. To enable event logging in the NT Event Log, a developer must create a message file (.mc) which then gets compiled by the Resource Compiler into a .RES file. This file is in turn embedded in a resource DLL, which the Event Viewer uses.
While Microsoft's Visual Studio doesn't offer a specialized editor for message files, Visual mc steps in to provide a much-needed solution. It is a graphical editor that allows developers to easily create and edit EventLog Message Files for use with Microsoft's Message Compiler (1.x). Visual mc integrates seamlessly with Visual Studio 6.0, but can also be used as a standalone product.
Visual mc comes with a wide range of features, including support for multiple languages and facilities, severities, choice of message id type definition, and automatic id generation. The editor's intuitive interface makes large message files with multi-language support easy to manage.
All in all, Visual mc is a must-have for software developers who frequently log events to the NT Event log. It simplifies the creation of Message Files and streamlines developer workflows, ultimately leading to increased efficiency and more reliable software systems.
