Child window of console application. When WriteConsole(), their contents are overwritten. The only way I found of avoid this was to create it with GetDesktopWindow() as parent and, for always seeing it, use HWND_TOPMOST. Very, very, very ugly and nasty. Child window, of course, with WS_CLIPCHILDEN and WS_CLIPSIBLINGS.
How can I avoid this without these bad methods?
Thanks
Console applications are not supposed to have windows. You are breaking the metaphor; either it's a windows-based application or it's a console application. Mixing the two is bound to create problems.
Perhaps you are right, but my philosophy is to do things as easily and efficiently as possible in order to minimize time and effort. In this case, I chose that way although there was others, of course.
After all, console window is a window and it would to behave as such. If not, the problem comes from that environment creators.
I hope there was a way.
