For many of us, the debug output window has been flooded with "invalid parameter" messages from some Windows 10 iphlpapi.lib functions. I can set the color of those messages to match the background, but the line feeds still cause the useful output to scroll off the screen in a second or two.
Is it possible for VSColorOutput to consume an output line without anything being written to the output window? If so, perhaps a special color ("none"?) could be assigned to trigger output suppression. This would be a huge help until Microsoft fixes the "invalid parameter" message and once it exists, I'm sure people will find more uses for it.

This request has come up before. Oddly, you can't suppress the line output in the VS output window. I've considered creating a second output window where VS could suppress output.
