Is there a way to execute a program and receive the console output in c++ instead of displaying the console window? I am trying to do a command line call but provide a GUI instead of the console output.

You can do this on most systems using
popen(or on some compilers_popen). If that isn’t versatile enough for your purposes, you’ll probably have to do something platform specific (e.g.,forkon a POSIX-like system, orCreateProcesson Windows).
