How to auto close Message View window on successful compilation.

How to auto close Message View window on successful compilation.
This was asked for in Delphi 7, but it seems with Delphi XE3 (what I'm using) it's still not possible. Anybody know of a 3rd party add-in or hidden Delphi setting that will close the Message View after a successful compilation?

If I save my "desktop environment" while the Message View window is closed, then compile it doesn't display the Message View - if no errors occurred. If a error occurs, then the Message View automatically appears. After I fixed the compilation error and recompile, the Message View stays there and doesn't close. At this point I want it to close automatically. It is so damn annoying. I need all the screen (editor) space I can get, and the always visible Message View is taking up vital space.

Any known solution for this? Once again, Lazarus IDE does this perfectly.

  1. No, it adds a component to the progress dialog to detect when it is being destroyed, starts a timer at destruction and when that timer expires, hides the Messages window.

  3. Adz Baywes : About warnings and hints. We have a very strict system here... 2+ million lines of code and zero hints or warnings. If anybody in our team introduces those , they have to fix it. We have code reviews every day.
