Is there a way to get notifications about windows console oput.

Question

Hello

I know I can read console buffer using ReadConsoleOutput function. Is there any way to be notified when console app is outputing text ? Currently I need to set timer and scan the console buffer all the time.

Ty.

Not 100% sure I totally understand what you're trying to do - would this help?

Process process = new Process();

process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
process.OutputDataReceived += 
    new DataReceivedEventHandler(HandleConsoleOutput);

process.Start( );

and then handle all output being written to the console output by that process using this handler:

void HandleConsoleOutput(object sender, DataReceivedEventArgs e)
{
  // Std output arrives here
}
