If only there was a way to ask AllocWindow() to create a hidden console
[huge snip]
perl2app --gui / pp --gui created apps, have no console.
So I create them with AllocConsole or CreateProcess and
redirect STDERR/STDOUT to this window, and display it only when requested.
Can I check I understand what you are saying here:
(1) If I create an app with 'pp --gui', and then run it by clicking the
exe, I get my window app, without a console.
(2) At some point in my program I want to use print() to output a text
string.
(2) I understand how, at that point, I can use AllocConsole(), along
with a redirection of STDOUT to get the print()ed output to appear on a
console.
(3) Now, say that I don't want to show the console when I create it -
there is no way to achieve this with AllocConsole(), so I create the
console, and immediately hide it, but get a console 'flash'.
You seen to be saying that I can use CreateProcess() to create a console
that I can then redirect STD(IN|OUT|ERR) to in order to see my output.
If so, then can you give me a bit more detail about the CreateProcess
mechanism you use here. I don't understand what I would pass as the
CreateProcess() parameters to achieve this.
To work around the flashing issue I can
1) create it only when requested, but then I loose the previous output,
I intend that Win32::GUI::Console will have an "on-demand" mechanism to
create a console when the first write to STD(OUT|ERR) happens.
