//   In Visual C++ 6 (7 should be similar), to create an application that is both a console application 
//  (cout's to the console are visible) and has a wxWidgets GUI, 
//  you need to use the linker option "/subsystem:console" and the following code:

#define CREA_WXMAIN_WITH_CONSOLE					\

    return WinMain(::GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL,			\
