I had the Output box set to show underneath my code. I accidentally pulled it out from there and it became its own window. I can close the window and go to View, click Output, and it comes back, still as a window! How can I set it back?
To dock the Output window: Drag the title bar of the Output window to the left, right, top, or bottom edge of the InstallShield interface. To undock a tab on the Output window: Drag the tab to the new location.
To open the Output window, on the menu bar, choose View > Output, or press Ctrl+Alt+O.
Right-click on the project node in Solution Explorer and select Properties. Expand the Build section, and select the Output subsection. Find the Base output path for C#, and type in the path to generate output to (absolute or relative to the root project directory), or choose Browse to browse to that folder instead.
All windows within Visual Studio are dockable. You need to find the sweet spot for where the overlay menu shows up allowing you to dock your window in a certain position.
Drag the window towards the bottom until this overlay menu shows up, then choose the bottom position and it will dock below again.
Grab the output window and drag it back over visual studio, you should get a bunch of visual helpers that pop up to help you dock it back in place where you want it.
