putting a GUI wrapper around console app

[et1ssgmiller]

I have created a console application in VC++ that connects to a digital camera, takes an image, zips the file and emails it to someone. I now need to wrap a VC++ GUI wrapper around the console app. I have created the basic framework of the GUI, what I want to do is now click a single button that then runs the console app, with the feedback that used to be in the DOS terminal window now displayed in the form. But I am at a loss as to how to combine the two. Any assistance would really be appreciated, I am new to C++ programming.
Thanks in advance for any helping hints or suggestions!!!

The best thing would be to move the application to a component project that can be called from a higher language. If you use .NET then this should be quite safe and easy but ActiveX with ATL is to too messy for the task.

You could also use CreateProcess and redirect stdin, stdout, and stderr.

The way I have done on the past is through QT ples .see http://qt.nokia.com look for a class QProcess in the help files , I have developed many programs to run console application from a gui , very easy to use cheers.
