And I just found an example which already does this for TCustomEdit descendants: http://kd5col.info/swag/DELPHI/0017.PAS.html
I've not tested it in FPC, so maybe small adjustments might be necessary...

Wow.

This is far too (incredibly) elaborate.

It's a bit like giving me plans to set up an army to invade a country when all I want to do is to visit it as a tourist :)

As I mentioned in my first post, I am prepared to alter the compiler sources;

And this you consider not elaborate? That's a nice one :)

and I had this in mind:

I would like to add these to a common unit --such as globals.pas

type
 TMyWriteLnCallback = procedure(AText: String);

var
 GMyWriteLnCallback: TMyCallback = nil;

and then, wherever the 'compiler magic' for WriteLn is, use something like

if Assigned(GMyWriteLnCallback) then GMyWriteLnCallback(TextStuff)
else {do the usual console output}

So, could someone tell me where I have to inject these lines.

As I wrote in my post: See the CRT unit.

It does exactly that. You need maybe 20 lines of code to do as you want.

Michael.
