Never heard of such until you posted this, so this is all I have, perhaps someone else will answer.

A modeless window .... Is like a external independ window in contrary to the messagebox witch halts the program on top until you close it.
With a modeles dialog you can move it to side and still control the main window.
I knew it from my MFC experiments .... Way back in time.
I was kinda lazy .... And thought maybe someone did it before me.

Thnx for the reply

Currently i'm using a few lines of code to make log files to discover certain errors.
Using a modeles console dialag would make life so much eaiser.

so you are wanting 2 console windows to run "parallel"? or 1 console 1 win32 window? or 2 win32 windows?

Console is best!

Otherwise you also have to put winform shit to have textedit or maybe rich textbox , i havent digged into to that yet ....
There is so much to read on this world!

I prefer the console as it is just for display lines of information ... The fast way.
Paralel of internal ... Either is good.
