DOS Console in Win32

[Osiris]

Hey,
I dont know if this has been posted in here before...

I would like to show a dos console window in my
Win32 Application but I don't have the slightest clue in how
to go about it... any ideas?

what i want to do is have a console window appear and ask
the user some questions, then after thats done, Show a Window
using Win32 Programming...

Hi,
I use Dev-C++ IDE for my programming. When I create a project, I get this DOS Window by default. I have to check a box so I will not get it. I use this DOS Window/Console to display some info before using OpenGL to render some 3D stuff.

In VC++, I can create a Win32 Console Application and I get this DOS Window.

Regards,
ChuckB

Thanks ChuckB for your reply...
So, instead of making a Win32 Application, I should make a
Win32 Console Application? And will I be able to Create a Window
in this project as well?
I use VC++ by the way.

You can create a window. But if you go for normal win app you can use AllocConsole to create a console window.
