Not sure if it will work, but you might try
AttachConsole(), followed by one of theWritexxx()functions. You could easily do this if your program also created the console window.

Bilge Kaan, ur post is very interesting. may I ask: (1)what OS do u use for the App? (2)is the console executed (run) by your App? acturally I want to find already opened console window also, but as I tested, the function FindWindow() doesn't work.

It helps to specify those requirements up front.

My OS is win98 (develop PCs are using win98 for us). I loaded a dos window, whose title is "MS-DOS Prompt" I tested HWND hwnd = ::FindWindow("ConsoleWindowClass","MS-DOS Prompt"); but return value (hwnd) is zero. what is wrong? did u test your code on win98 or other OS (your users may use different OSs)?
