You can't make a window except message box if its not a Windows GUI program.

I don't see why you can't display a form in a console application. It may be more of a pain in the butt, but it's possible. Check this out: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/Windows_Forms_in_MC__.aspx

AFAIK if you do happen to make that form, it will stop responding as it will be inside a loop (correct me if I'm wrong). You can do the following:

1. Use Asynchronous timer for painting text on form.
2. Use a separate thread for the form & change it's contents(See Tails' link above).
3. Design separate project form & build it's exe. Pass arguments to this exe from you command-line program using either system()[Bad] or ShellExecute()[Better]

Hope that helps.
