Create window console inside main win32 window

Question

I have a win32 application that need to open a console like the games when tilde is pressed. I tought that the best solution is to use the CreateWindow function. Is this right?

I found this little tutorial / code samples useful. http://www.halcyon.com/~ast/dload/guicon.htm

It creates a console and redirects STD_IN and STD_OUT to the console. So you can easily use std::cin and std::cout etc streams.
