Output Messages to the Command Prompt [VB6]
Given that my application is a command line application (meant to run from the command prompt) I wanted to find a way to output messages to the user (in the command prompt).
For example, I would like to display the progress of the application. So as the program runs I could do something like [cout << "Stage 1 Complete";] (but that is C++, no clue how to do it in VB6).
Hope I am making sense, anyone have an idea? Thanks,

You cannot write out directly to a command prompt like you can in C++. You can however access a command prompt with Win APIs. So, if you run your VB app from a command prompt, it will open a new one to run. Check this out:
