Title: Create console window
Post by: RedXVII on April 10, 2007, 09:42:56 AM

Anyone know an api to create a console window while i run my program, so that I can print stuff to it. The idea is that it wouldnt normally be available, but I can push a key to make an extra console to print stuff to, much like in games. Using message box's is spammy and inconvenient.

Cheers :U

Code Select

	invoke AllocConsole
	invoke GetStdHandle, STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE
	mov MyConsoleWindow, eax
	invoke WriteFile, MyConsoleWindow, OFFSET Mytext, SIZEOF MyText, 0, 0
