Manipulating Console Window

[PAEz]

What I meant was that getconsolewindow will only work if run from inside an app thats running through the console, it will get the console window its running in....it wont get the console window of something you run from your app.

So I think your going to have to do something like run the cli app through cmd and get thats hwnd.
Find attached a little demo I made for you.

PAEz i got it to work now, its just missing AllocConsole() to allocate a console to the GUI App and then when the TProcess is done i just use FreeConsole() to detach the console to the GUI App so that i can close the console app

Code: [Select]

uses
   Windows;

function GetConsoleWindow(): HWND; stdcall; external 'kernel32.dll' name 'GetConsoleWindow';  

var
   hMenuHandle: HMENU;  
begin
   AllocConsole();

   hMenuHandle := GetSystemMenu(GetConsoleWindow(), FALSE);
   DeleteMenu(hMenuHandle, SC_CLOSE, MF_BYCOMMAND);
   SetConsoleTitle('Handbrake CLI!!!');
   DrawMenuBar(GetConsoleWindow());

   // do something more here

   FreeConsole();
end.

thanks for your help dude
