Author: snowsnowsnow Date: Wednesday, June 14, 2006 06:34 AMIn wandering around MSDN, I found the AttachConsole function, and this gives a Q&D way to do it - according to the docs, this works only on XP+. Also, it doesn't really write to standard output - you can't redirect or pipe it. But it does provide a simple, easy way to display short messages on the console from which the WB app is launched.
Here's my code (best is to run this via: start /w foo.wbt):
kern32 = DllLoad("kernel32") DLLCall(kern32,long:"AttachConsole",long:-1) hStdOutput = DLLCall(kern32, long:"GetStdHandle", long:-11) mret = BinaryAlloc(4) s = "This is a test%@CRLF%" DLLCall(kern32, long:"WriteFile", long:hStdOutput, lpstr:s, long:StrLen(s), lpbi nary:mret, lpnull) Message("mret = ",BinaryPeek4(mret,0))
