Re: GetStdHandle .NET

Dragon,
Not sure what your error is about, as strand__sure suggests, can you show
more of your code you are attempting to use.

Rather then use Win32 APIs from .NET, have you considered using the
System.Console class instead? It encapsulates most of the Win32 Console API
functions. With .NET 2.0 (aka VS 2005, aka Whidbey, due out later in 2005.
See http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/ for details) providing even more
support.

You can use Console.OpenStandardOutput in VS 2002 & 2003 to get the standard
output stream. You can use Console.SetOut to set tell Console.Write what
TextWriter (Stream) to use.

Hope this helps

| Hello all,
| I ran into trouble with GetStdHandle API. When I'm trying to get standard
| output with GetStdHandle(-11I), it returns strange values such as 1548,
| 1876. If I try to WriteConsole() into these handles, it does not work, and
| GetLastError returns ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE. But when I CloseHandle() them,
it
| succeeds! I tested this in VC++ and VBA, and GetStdHandle(-11) always
| returns 7, which is valid. There is the same problem with standard error,
| but no problems with standard input.
| I declare GetStdHandle as follows:
| Declare Function GetStdHandle Lib "kernel32.dll" (ByVal nStdHandle As _
| Int32) As IntPtr
|
| Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
