I have an application (a DLL to be specific) which creates a console,
executes a console program, reads its output and sends keypresses to
it. I do this with AllocConsole(), CreateProcess(),
ReadConsoleOutputCharacter() and keybd_event().

Everything works nicely, except for one little problem. If the user
manually closes the console window, my entire application exits
immediately. Is there some simple way I can prevent this, or do I have
to start messing with intercepting messages?

Thanks,
Murray
