    GUI Application --> Console

    Hi,

    i'm a newbie to c++ and have got a problem with a programm written in Borland C++ 5.01, using Owl Libraries, created with AppExpert from Borland CBuilder.

    i want to create an output to my console after starting the programm, but things like 'cout' doesn't seem to work.

    thanks for any advice

    I'll be sure to psychically fix your code for you.
    Do not make direct eye contact with me.

    Can you post the code please?

    When I was first starting c++, I was using Borland c++ builder 6, and every tutorial said, " cout <<" this and "cout << " that.
    They never mentioned that you needed to make a console application! I was trying to do this with a Form app! I would make sure that:

    1) Your using a console application

    2) You have :
    included <iostream>
    (#include <iostream>)

    your using namespace
    (using namespace std; )

    3) #include <stdlib.h>

    also check this site out. its really good refernece

    hope this helps
