But there is one critcal thing left, I don't know how to output the messages used to be displayed in the console to the SDI view. Can anyone kindly give me some hint or a sample? Thanks in advance!

Hello. I think the simplest way to do it is by creating a dialog based application. (I've done the same thing myself). For the "console", create a listbox and send the console output to it.

Thanks very much for your reply!! Actually instead of listbox, I have tried to use ListView under SDI, and it works fine. But now I want to switch to CRichEditView, and not sure if there will have some overflow problem. Once again thanks very much!!

You don't have to simulate it, you can create a real console window using AllocConsole(). You can get a handle to it using GetStdHandle() and then write messages using WriteConsole()
