User interface enhancement

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When I start a new "Compile" it would be practical if the "Message" tab 
within Output was set as the active tab.

Also I suggest that the "Errors & Warnings" listbox is cleared when 
Compile starts rather than when it is reloaded.

Thanks for the update.

However, I do not see any evidence of these changes in 62.

when you build the entire project or just compile a single file, the message tab
should become active, and then the build output is displayed if there are no 
errors,
or the error list is displayed when there are errors.

i might have missed the error list clearing, oops

Also I don't see it switching to the "Message" tab when pressing compile. With 
this 
change in place, clearing the errors and warnings will be less of an issue.

hmmm it's behaving like it should, i don't know why it's not working for you, 
but i 
added clearing of the message box when you compile a single file

When using auto-hide, Errors and Warnings active and pressing Compile - the 
following happends:

1. Output tab expands
2. Errors & Warnings remains the active tab
3. When compile completes and is successful, the Messages tab becomes active

I would prefer the following sequence:

1. Output tab expands
2. Messages tab becomes active
3. If compile ends with errors, the Errors & Messages tab should be activated

P.S. Is there perhaps a "DoEvents" missing?

oh i think i know where i misunderstood the problem, you have it auto-hidden and
would like it to appear during the build, i'll try to fix that.

I don't want to force the message tab on top if the user left it on the error 
tab

"Output" pops up just fine when compile starts (no issue here).

What I would prefer however is to view the output from the 
compile/assemble/link 
steps ("Messages" tab) as it progresses rather than "Messages and Warnings". 
Actually it will switch tabs, but only after all steps are completed (and it is 
a 
successful compile). If compile ends with errors it will switch to "Errors and 
Warnings" which is also fine as is.
