Delta01 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2008 Well, I'm sure most of you know of the "console applications" that can be created in C#/C++. My question to you is, can autoit create them? Create a console window and then write text into it, I've looked under Console and WINAPI in the helpfile but haven't found anything. If it can, please tell me which functions to look up. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richard Robertson 186 Report post Posted April 11, 2008 Squirrely, you can create standard windows in a console application. There's nothing preventing that from being done. In a normal sense, yes it would be a problem, but as far as I know, AutoIt always runs the message loop for it's own private window. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
