PASS PARAMETERS TO CONSOLE APP VISUAL STUDIO CODE
The following code snippet writes a few lines into the console screen, some of them are shown in different colors ! In order to create a console application in Visual Basic, you have to use Win32 API calls. You can use it by opening the appmodechange project from Visual Basic IDE. My utility was developed in Visual Basic, and the source code is provided within the sample package. So, you can develop a console application in Visual Basic, create an executable file, and then, use my utility to convert the executable into a console application. I have developed a small utility that converts an Executable file (.exe) from GUI application mode to console application mode. with a small trick, it's possible to bypass the limitation of the Visual Basic compiler: Your application won't work, because the Visual Basic compiler always creates GUI application and it doesn't provide any compiler options for changing it to console application.īut. Even if you use the Win32 API for writing into the console screen, Unfortunately, Visual Basic doesn't support console applications. These tools provides specific methods and functions for writing to the console screen and their compiler also provides special option for creating console executable. Some development tools, like Visual C++ and Delphi, allows the developer to easily create console applications. Creating a real console application in Visual Basic
