GetConsoleWindow is documented on MSDN  
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/

A search for "GetConsoleWindow" will give a link to the functions documentation.

The program below will show how GetConsoleWindow() can be used with euphoria

include dll.e
include get.e

atom Kernel32,xGetConsoleWindow

	Kernel32=open_dll("kernel32.dll")
	xGetConsoleWindow=define_c_func(Kernel32,"GetConsoleWindow",{},C_ULONG)

	puts(1,"\n")	--Open console window
	?c_func(xGetConsoleWindow,{})
	?wait_key()

This program will cause a Euphoria run-time error on an OS prior to Windows2000.

See the Euphoria docs for further details.

MSDN has a listing of which functions were introduced with Win2000 but it is
rarely necessary to know this. With rare exceptions, functions introduced with
Windows 95 will still work on Windows2000 and XP. The MSDN documentation
indicates the system requirements for each function.
