I have a win32 app, and I need to be able to open a console that accepts input through cin. I think there's a really easy way, but I can't find it right now. I'm failing at searching the MSDN website, too. Thanks a lot. EDIT: I think I found a method of doing it. Feel free to post anyway, though, because I'll probably not get it to work ;) EDIT: Never mind, it actually does work after all ;) You can disregard this thread.
