Overview
When compiling the Messages window is shown automatically. You can see messages appear briefly and vanishing. The IDE classifies the compiler messages. Messages like "compiling unit1.pas" are treated as "progress" lines. These are shown, but hidden as soon as the next messages is shown, so that only the important messages (e.g. hints, notes, warning, errors) are shown. You can choose what lines to show, see filtering below.
Click on a message to jump to the position in the source editor. You can set whether a double click jumps or a single click in Tools -> Options -> Messages Window -> Double click on messages jumps.
When the IDE compiles a project it also compiles changed packages. In this case you see several blocks of messages, each having a header. The header is yellow while compiling, it turns green when compilation was successful, and turns red when there was an error. You can change the colors in the options.
