Is it possible to implement console codes to win32 api code?
i hav written a program which works fine running in console mode. my question is, do i need to rewrite it so i can hav a nice interface with win32 api?

at the moment i have created a console program that reads the input and does automated clicks every 2 seconds if the cursor is in the same position using a
the problem now is since a mouse can do left and right clicks, i need to simulate them. therefore i need to have a interface that has buttons to select which type of mouse click, which for the mean while i m using
one last question, if i use a child window for my console program, when it reaches the do while loop will it make the main window stop since it jumped its processing to another window?
