   How to get the console running in a DirectX project? SOLVED
  I'm not sure how difficult this, but I'd love to have the console available so I can use it for testing and debugging purposes.[Edited by - Side Winder on September 16, 2007 10:29:34 AM]
  Hey there, the following code will get a console window up for you and allows you to use it as normal with calls to printf(), etc#include <cstdio>#include <iostream>#include <fcntl.h>#include <io.h>AllocConsole();int hCrt;FILE *hf;hCrt = _open_osfhandle((long)GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE),_O_TEXT);hf = _fdopen( hCrt, "w" );*stdout = *hf;int   i = setvbuf( stdout, NULL, _IONBF, 0 );EDIT: i forgot to ask, which language are you using cause the above source is c++   ;  Excellent.  Works perfectly, thank you.And yes, I'm using C++ ;)
