C++ Programming :: printf from DLL


	printf from DLL Hi, I'm using VC++ Express 2005 on a WinXP box. I wrote a little console program to test out some code I wanted to try. Everything worked great, but I've tried to turn the console program into a DLL now. However, when I call this DLL, none of the printf's I've written in my code execute. I can put breakpoints on the printf's and step though them... everything seems to work, but the little black window that used to appear when this was a console program doesn't pop up now to tell me what's going on. Can I use printf's from within a DLL? Jon bluemoosek@gmail.com wrote: > I'm using VC++ Express 2005 on a WinXP box. I wrote a little console > program to test out some code I wanted to try.

Your problem unfortunately cannot be explained in terms of standard C++ language. You need to ask in the newsgroup where "DLL" is on topic. I recommend the newsgroup for your OS. <offtopic> You changed the executable type from "Console" to "Windows EXE" and the Windows exe does not have the console windows you're so used to. </offtopic> If you need another method for debug printouts, you can always open some file for append (like a log file), fprintf, and then close it.
