Does anyone know how I can open a console window in a Win95 GUI app? I want to dump some data for debugging purposes. Richter's Advanced Windows says that it is possible, but does not say how, and I have not been able to find a description anywhere else. Thanks in advance. Thaddeus L. Olczyk

Check out the API AllocConsole. If you want to make use of stdout (for printf
etc), you can then use something like this:
HANDLE hStdout;
FILE *fp;
hStdout = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
*fp = _fdopen(_open_osfhandle(hStdout, _O_TEXT), "w");
*stdout = *fp;
printf("Hello!\n");
Later,

Olczyk Check out the example program DIAGXPRT in the owl examples. Build it and then execute it. It will provide you with a debugging window that you can send text to via the OutputDebugString API call. Try it, you'll like it... Rob
