The [[_CONSOLE]] statement can be used to turn OFF a console window or turn it on after it has been OFF.

::: '''_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]].
|
|
* _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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
''Example:'' Hiding and displaying a console window. Use [[_DELAY]] to place console in front of main program window.
