I did some googling to try to answer this question but even after that I'm not quite clear about something. Is it possible to create a console app from VB6?
I've got a VB6 app that doesn't put up a window. I always assumed that it was a console app. However, I want to be able to use the Windows API SetConsoleCtrlHandler function from within it. I believe that with C++/MFC apps you have to set a linker switch to create a console app. And one of my fellow developers told me that VB6 doesn't create a true console app and therefore this would not work. So is it possible to create a console app that Windows will recognize as a console app from VB6?
Platform: Windows XP SP2

Visual Basic is a type-safe programming language that's designed to be easy to learn. A console app takes input and displays output in a command-line window, also known as a console. In this tutorial, you learn how to: Create a Visual Studio project. Run the default application.
Creating a console application is more straightforward than building an application that has a rich user interface. You do not need to know or use any user interface languages, tools or frameworks. You can implement a console application using simple C# programming.
Open Visual Studio, and choose Create a new project in the Start window. In the Create a new project window, select All languages, and then choose C# from the dropdown list. Choose Windows from the All platforms list, and choose Console from the All project types list.
Yes. It's also possible to create totally headless applications (which I've done a few times in the past). This link gives an example with a code snippet.
