{{DISPLAYTITLE:_CONSOLE}}
|
|
The [[_CONSOLE]] statement can be used to turn a console window ON/OFF.
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{PageSyntax}}
|
|
: [[_CONSOLE]] {OFF|ON}
|
|
: _DEST [[_CONSOLE]]
|
|
|
|
|
|
* [[_CONSOLE]] OFF or ON must be used after the [[$CONSOLE]] [[Metacommand]] has established that a console window is desired.
|
|
* [[_CONSOLE]] OFF turns the console window off once a console has been established using [[$CONSOLE]]:ON or ONLY.
|
|
* [[_CONSOLE]] ON should only be used after the console window has been turned OFF previously.
|
|
* [[_DEST]] [[_CONSOLE]] can be used to send screen output to the console window using QB64 commands such as [[PRINT]].
|
|
* [[_SCREENHIDE]] or [[_SCREENSHOW]] can be used to hide or display the main program window.
|
|
* The [[$SCREENHIDE]] [[Metacommand]] can hide the main program window throughout a program when only the console is used.
|
|
* '''Note:''' Text can be copied partially or totally from console screens in Windows by highlighting and using the title bar menu.
|
|
:: To copy console text output, right click the title bar and select ''Edit'' for ''Mark'' to highlight and repeat to ''Copy''.
