Hi, My GUI is required to call a code that is a console application. The progress is displayed in the console. My GUI button calls this code fine and data is written correctly. The problem is I don't see the console from the button call and the user has no idea when the routine has completed. Would this be something to do with CreateProcess()? I know that this function can be used to call applications but what about subroutines? Thanks. Kash

Using CreateProcess() is the correct method. However, I would make the console window hidden, and capture the text that is written to it in my GUI window. See here and here.
