This is very nice. Now you have a way to log information right from a DirectX app without adding any extra classes. It allows you to write to the console window using printf(), fprintf(), and std::cout. It also redirects stdin and stderr.
The best part is you don't have to call any Win32 console related functions.
COOL! o.o! I need this, couldn't figure the other stuff out xD Lemme give this a try ;)
And ultra thanks!
YAY! It worked! Dude, you just put alot of frustration off me! Thanks! :D
Very sweet! Thanks!
Cool, but in Visual Studio 2008 I just make my projects console projects, and add _WIN32 to my #defines. Then use GetModuleHandle(0) to get the hInstance. now I have a console application that can use win32 windows.
Maybe I am missing something, but this works greats with my games.
If you use the console subsystem (linker option) then you always start with a console. A non-console subsystem can create a console only if it needs/wants to.
Whatever meets your requirements.

Yeah, console + GUI is awesome. You see commercial games have it enabled for debug during beta sometimes (Age of Conan).
I compile debug with _CONSOLE;_WIN32. Then build release with only _WIN32. So that code seems somewhat pointless to me, but to each their own.
