StdOut property

Project: Console Application Runner Classes

Unit: PJConsoleApp

Classes: TPJCustomConsoleApp, TPJConsoleApp

Applies to: ~>3.0

property StdOut: THandle;

Description

This property is used to optionally redirect a console application’s standard output.

If StdOut is set to 0 no redirection takes place.

Setting the property to a valid inheritable handles causes all output that the console application writes to standard output to actually be written to the specified handle.

The default property value is 0.

Remarks

When redirecting, the output handle can be attached to any object that is open for writing. Normally this will be a file or a pipe.

The I/O Utility Classes library project has classes that are designed to help with opening pipes and files with inheritable handles.

The property is public in TPJConsoleApp and protected in TPJCustomConsoleApp.
