Title: How to change where codeblocks outputs?
Post by: johnmcjohnson on May 30, 2014, 04:07:33 am

So code blocks on windows will use a CMD window to interact with the user. This had become a bit cumbersome for me as the command window doesn't always fully understand what i'm trying to do it would seem. Is there any way to have code blocks display data underneath the editor and interact with something other than the CMD window??

C::b interacts with the user over his gui. What your program does is completaly over you. If you want a fancy gui, you have to write one in your program.
At the moment it is not possible to integrate the cmd window at the bottom in codeblocks. But you can try to create a tools+ menu entry and call your program over this. Tools+ has the ability to redirect the output to a c::b window.
