console-application

I'm developing a simple C++ console application without classes & objects. Is there any method or function to prevent the console from closing when red X button is clicked ? I'm using Visual Studio C++ Express 2010 : A simple console application which containes only main.cpp file. Thank you for answering my question :) !! This worked for me: #include "conio.h" void main() { HWND hwnd = GetConsoleWindow(); HMENU hmenu = GetSystemMenu(hwnd, FALSE); EnableMenuItem(hmenu, SC_CLOSE, MF_GRAYED); } While we're at it, to re-enable the button: EnableMenuItem(hmenu, SC_CLOSE, MF_ENABLED); ... and to set

Can we work together to come up with something that works for control-c, control-break, log off, window X button pressed, etc? Here is what I have so far: class Program { private static ConsoleEventHandlerDelegate consoleHandler; delegate bool ConsoleEventHandlerDelegate(CtrlTypes eventCode); static void Main(string[] args) { consoleHandler = new ConsoleEventHandlerDelegate(ConsoleCtrlCheck); SetConsoleCtrlHandler(consoleHandler, true); System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().Exited += delegate(object sender, EventArgs e) { GeneralManager.Stop(); }; Console.CancelKeyPress += delegate

In a normal Windows application I can use... System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.CheckForUpdate() ...to determine whether or not there is an update available. I know I can use System.Reflection and Assembly and AssemblyName to print the version of the application as it is currently running, but I don't know how to get it to compare that to what's been published most recently. What is the equivalent to CheckForUpdate() for a console application, without using ClickOnce? You would need something server side that the application can use to find out what the most

This question already has an answer here: The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) 17 answers Can anyone tell me what causes this error: I don't know what other information about the project may be needed to be included! If you need more information, it would be appreciated to inform me. But please help me! I'm running the program on a Win7x64 ultimate and this is the configuration of my project: also these are the paths of include and library directories that are needed in the project: the program uses OpenGL , GLU , GLUT and GDAL/OGR libraries, which I have downloaded GDAL

Well I was bored so wanted to make an animation in a console window. Now when I setup the first bits I noticed it is very slow, something around 333ms for a whole screen to fill with characters.. I am wondering if there is a way to at least get ~20 fps? Here is my code: #include <stdio.h> #include <tchar.h> #include <Windows.h> #include <iostream> #include <array> #define WIDTH (100) #define HEIGHT (35) bool SetWindow(int Width, int Height) { _COORD coord; coord.X = Width; coord.Y = Height; _SMALL_RECT Rect; Rect.Left = 0; Rect.Top = 0; Rect.Bottom = Height - 1; Rect.Right = Width - 1; HANDLE

I am currently trying to write a console application in C# with two screen buffers, which should be swapped back and forth (much like VSync on a modern GPU). Since the System.Console class does not provide a way to switch buffers, I had to P/Invoke several methods from kernel32.dll. This is my current code, grossly simplified: static void Main(string[] args) { IntPtr oldBuffer = GetStdHandle(-11); //Gets the handle for the default console buffer IntPtr newBuffer = CreateConsoleScreenBuffer(0, 0x00000001, IntPtr.Zero, 1, 0); //Creates a new console buffer /* Write data to newBuffer */
