Body
The following class will give you an idea of what you will need to do. On construction, a CConsole attempts to use AllocConsole to create a new console for the process. If AllocConsole fails, nothing is changed -- a console already exists and the class assumes that C-Runtime handles have already been set up somewhere else. If AllocConsole succeeds, the objects currently associated with stdout and stdin are saved, then these are replaced with ones created for the new console. Now C-Runtime output functions (like printf) will output to the new console. cout and cin will also use the new console. The RemoveMenu call will prevent a user from closing the console window, terminating the process. It is not necessary beyond this function. When a CConsole is destroyed (and AllocConsole was successful), stdout and stdin are restored, then the console is closed with a call to FreeConsole. I find this class to be inconvenient when you want your console to persist beyond the function which created it -- you need to get a new CConsole and keep track of its pointer until you close it with a delete. But its implementation lays out the steps you will need to take in your own project. I have never tried this with a dll, but I don't see any reason for this to pose a problem. Console.h: <pre><code>#pragma once #include <stdio.h> class CConsole { FILE m_OldStdin, m_OldStdout; bool m_OwnConsole; public: CConsole(); ~CConsole(); }; </code></pre> Console.cpp: <pre><code>#include <windows.h> #include <conio.h> #include <FCNTL.H> #include <io.h> #include "Console.h" static BOOL WINAPI MyConsoleCtrlHandler(DWORD dwCtrlEvent) { return dwCtrlEvent == CTRL_C_EVENT;} CConsole::CConsole() : m_OwnConsole(false) { if(!AllocConsole()) return; SetConsoleCtrlHandler(MyConsoleCtrlHandler, TRUE); RemoveMenu(GetSystemMenu(GetConsoleWindow(), FALSE), SC_CLOSE, MF_BYCOMMAND); const int in = _open_osfhandle(INT_PTR(GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE)), _O_TEXT); const int out = _open_osfhandle(INT_PTR(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE)), _O_TEXT); m_OldStdin = *stdin; m_OldStdout = *stdout; *stdin = *_fdopen(in, "r"); *stdout = *_fdopen(out, "w"); m_OwnConsole = true; } CConsole::~CConsole() { if(m_OwnConsole) { fclose(stdout); fclose(stdin); *stdout = m_OldStdout; *stdin = m_OldStdin; SetConsoleCtrlHandler(MyConsoleCtrlHandler, FALSE); FreeConsole(); } } </code></pre> Enjoy!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
