[HELP]C++ Sending text to command line

[xyfz]

Hey,

Yesterday I tried to send text to another window in c++.

Worked fine with notepad, but when I'm trying to send the text to a command line its not working. It doesn't write anything.

I use this code:

SetForegroundWindow((HWND)hWnd);
SendMessage(FindWindowEx((HWND)hWnd, NULL, "Edit", NULL), WM_SETTEXT, 0, (LPARAM)strcat(message, dbName));

(message) is my variable for some defined text and (dbName) is text from a user input stored in a variable

Like I said, it works in notepad, but not in command line.

Hope u can understand my English and someone can help me

Thanks in advance.

What do you wanna achieve? That some text is printed in the console? Or what kind of command line? WM_SETTEXT changes the caption of a window. What the caption is depends on the class of the window/control, for example for a frame its the title, for a textbox its the content, and so on.

Yes, exactly.

So what code do I need to write in a console?

Could you please give me an example?

Thats the function you are looking for:
AttachConsole

I'll try it out when I'm home.

Thanks so far
