How do I activate the console and the GUI at the same time?

How do I activate the console and the GUI at the same time?

• Umachandar Jayachandran - MS

  Whenever I need some debug info during the execution of a GUI application, I use the following code:

  HANDLE hConsole; //Global variable

  //During software startup

  AllocConsole()

  hConsole = GetStdhandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);

  Then use the WriteConsole() function whenever you need to oupt text on your new console.

  You can build a CLR console application which spawns the windows you want. In your project properties under Linker, set the SubSystem to Console. Then the console app can instantiate your forms.

  	Thanks about the interest Peter, and thanks to the last sir to answer. That's SubSystem option works fine for debug. Best Regards

  Do you want a console application that invokes a GUI (i.e. always has a console window). Or, do you want to only have a console when debugging your GUI application
