Console API Class

Visual Basic doesn't have the ability to read or write from the console. To accomplish this, the Win32 API exports a set of functions that interacts with a console window using handles.
clsWinConsole is a simple VB class that encapsulates the code needed to open, write/read, and close a console window. Here is a code snippet that demonstrates how to use clsWinConsole:

Public Sub Main()
Dim console as New clsWinConsole
Dim inp As String
console.Show
console.WriteText "Text"
inp = console.ReadText
console.WriteText inp
console.Hide
End Sub
