how can I open a second window?

[Gdschaf]

so here's what i want to do. I have a window using winapi showing up and I want a basic command prompt window to also show up that i can write too. it's for a game and the command prompt window is where debug text will be displayed. is there a way to do that? and if so how would i print to that window? could i some how open up a new command prompt window, get the handle of it, and set cout to print to that some how? thanks in advanced.

I think the AllocConsole function is what you want:
