Re: [C/C++ MDL V8i] USTN Console - Press ENTER to continue or wait for 5s.

Michael Stark:

I think I remember that the console was a output only

So then what is function mdlSystem_getStringFromConsole  for?

Michael Stark:

Can you tell us, why and when you you want to initiate such a wait-state ?

My app shows many messages during process to inform about issues during it, so that wait-state is there to let user to catch it if status is ERROR or WARNING.

Michael Stark:

I would suggest a modal dialog, but I (naturally) don't know if you expect an existing UI at all. In MFC it would be easy as the dialog has it's own message loop and MicroStation is really waiting meanwhile.

All what I need is to have a console in MicroStation to show issues during process, there must not be used GUI - as far as I understand tool requirements.

I have tried unpopular system("pause"); which works, so there must be a way.
