保持运行的C ++程序控制台在最前面？

Question

Let's say I was using cin in my program to allow the user to input into the console. That is simple enough but what if they were typing into, let's say, a web browser and I wanted them to input that into the console at the same time? When I click away the C++ program console window and have something else on top, the input obviously does not go into the console. How can I make it so the console is always running on top so that even when I were to input something into a web browser, it would also go into the console?

in order capture keyboard input when your application is not focused, you need to use windows hook, see:
