dev-c++ console

[grey235]

I'm using dev-c++ with SDL, and openGL. My program works and I'm manipulating primitives like a boss but I want to know if there's a way to view the console output on the console instead of in the .txt file it creates every time I compile and run. When my program runs the console opens with it but just stays blank even if I have std::cout<<"text"; in my code.
Thanks for any help.

Why do so many people use dev-c++? But that's not relevant (not to your issue anyways) but what is relevant is what toolkit are you using to write your programs? If you're just using C++, than std::cout will print to the console. If you're using something other than the standard, it's possible that the standard console output has been "turned off". You need to find a way to use that toolkit's library to display something to the screen (most likely an window if using a toolkit).
