C++ Console

How can I intergrate a console in a Windows GUI application. A CMD type thing.

 

If you'd like to open a separate command window, just execute a system ("cmd.exe"); call. If you want to make your own command interpreter, write it, and replace "cmd.exe" with "myCommandInterpreter.exe" (or whatever you call it).

Code:

#include <windows.h>
#include <process.h>
#include "stdafx.h"

extern "C" int system (char *cmd);

int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
                     HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                     LPSTR     lpCmdLine,
                     int       nCmdShow)
{
	system ("cmd.exe");
	return 0;
}

 

Well you see I just want a console in my GUI program because I need this to do some winsock because yeh... Well please tell me how to make a console type thing inside a GUI program?? This is very important to me

 

No, I don't see. Do you see? Did you even read the response? Do you see that it opens a console (without writing the rest of your code, of course). If you don't want the system's console window, make your own window and write your own command interpreter.

 

Where can I find this stdafx.h header file? and does this make a console inside your GUI window?

 

yeh but i wonder how can i make a text box be some batch file i have made can someone give me a tip?

 

I have made this Batch File and I want a text box kind of thing (where user can input) to be related to a batch file... so that if in my batch file i have for example

set hello=
set /p hello=Command:

well that "Command:" appears in the text box in the c++ program...

 

no because actually this thing i want is to put some console c++ apllication into a text box... is that possible

 

Ok, yeh well that is not really my point, i want to link a console based program to a text box area inside my GUI window
