Hello,
I am trying to redirect the output from my DLL to an external console window for easy debugging.
I have been told about AllocConsole but I am not able to reproduce it, i.e. the console window does not appear.
My current environment is Visual Studio 2005.
I tried the following example which is gotten off the Internet,
AllocConsole();
HANDLE han = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);
WriteConsole(han,"hello",6,new DWORD,0);
yet nothing happens. Can someone point me in the right direction if creating a console window via DLL is possible in the first place.
Thanks in advance!
