[Solved] Disable SFML error messages

[Raincode]

Hi,

how can I stop SFML from writing to my console?  In my case, I would like to handle sf::UdpSocket::bind() failing in my own way by using another Port.  However, SFML always prints an error message to my console, which I do not want in this case.

SFML prints to sf::err(), which you can redirect to something else than the console or even nothing. It's a standard std::ostream, so I let you Google (or search this forum) to find how to do it

My Plinth class that does this
Simply create a temporary object of this class during the activity that insists on outputting to the error stream. It automatically resumes where it was when the object is destroyed

#include <Plinth/Sfml/ErrBlocker.hpp>
int main()
{
    // stuff before (errors are output as normal)
    {
        pl::Sfml::ErrBlocker sfmlErrBlocker;
        // stuff while errors are blocked
    }
    // stuff after (errors are output as normal)
}

Hello,

thank you for your replies, I have a much better grasp of the SFML error printing now and the tools necessary to change it for my needs.

The premade class also works nicely, thank you.
