Using the WinNT-console window as stdio

[Peter Hahn]

I can start a program generated by CVI from a WindowsNT console window (cmd.exe). The program started opens a new window for stdio. Is there any way to use the console window from which the program was started as stdio instead?

Thanks for your help,
Peter

Yes, if you have CVI 5.5, then you can define the program as a console application in the Build->Target Settings... dialog. If you are in CVI 5.0.1 or previous, you can't do it.

CVI will use the console window from which you've started
your application if you check the Create Console Application
option in the Target Settings dialog.
