You'll have to be a bit more specific about what you mean. Perhaps you
mean that when launched from the command line you cannot interact with
the program via that command line interface. That is indeed standard
windows behaviour.

You can create new terminals at runtime using Win32 functions, but I'm
not sure if you can figure out if the program was launched from a
terminal and associate with that terminal.

But perhaps you meant something else.
