MFC and ConsoleChannel

[tnarol]

Hi,

I'm using a Logger with a ConsoleChannel attached to it. I developped a test console project and everything worked fine. Now I moved my classes to a project using MFC and it no longer works. I could check on the degugger that the log() method of the ConsoleChannel class is called but it produces no output, the console window is not displayed.

Is it possible to have a ConsoleChannel output if my project has a "windows" subsystem ?
Thanks.

Add the following code to the initialization portion of your application (e.g., InitInstance() or similar):

Code: Select all


   AllocConsole();
   SetConsoleTitle("My Application");
   freopen("CONOUT$", "w", stdout);
   freopen("CONOUT$", "w", stderr);
   freopen("CONIN$", "r", stdin);


The freopen calls make C/C++ standard input/output work with the newly allocated console.

When you no longer need the console, you can also call FreeConsole() to get rid of it, but you don't have to.

It's working fine. Thanks very much.
