How about a button that first opens the command
prompt, then runs the program, and leaves it open. Or
a shortcut that just opens the command prompt to the
current project directory.
I have a solution. I assume that you keep each project in
its own directory. Then, get the Windows XP Powertoy from
Microsoft called "Open Command Window Here". Then navigate
to the directory where your projects are. Right click on the
folder of the project you want, and select "Open Command
WIndow Here". An MS-DOS prompt will come up pointing to that
folder. As for leaving the prompt open, there are several
solutions. You can ask for input to a dummy variable at the
end of your program, include a system("PAUSE") statement, or
run your program from the command line. That last one is
easy with the XP Powertoy described above.
