Console and messages

[JasonLpz]

does a console window recive WM_PAINT messages and any others? If yes how do i recieve them? if no ; ok. also Can i set a timer in a console? How?

The console window does, but I don't think the console program does.

That's exactly right. You can't use the messaging system in console apps except with some dirty tricks.
