 Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2005 9:26 pm Post subject: console vs GUI |
 |
|
I wanted this to be a console application. Since I need to include a
component that retrieves e-mail (NMPOP3), I had to make it a GUI
application. Now, I want to write the results to a text file. Of course,
I cannot open a text file in a GUI application. Give me a break! Why is
everything mutually exclusive like this? What am I going to have to do in
order to make a GUI application write to a text file? Is it only version 6
of Delphi that prohibits a GUI from opening/reading/writing a text file?
Can other versions do it? Thank you for your help.

{$apptype console}
near the top of your .dpr
Poof! you have a GUI app that can write on the console!
(it'll even open one if you don't run from a command line)
I do this *all* the time to use "writeln" for debugging
