Closing the window!

[anarchypower]

Hi all,

I'm using Borland C++ 4.52, I've got a very simple program and a very simple question

I want to close the command window...It's easy I think, but I can't find the solution...I tried searching on my different spots but I can't find anything!!

Please help me out :s

Sample code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main (void)
	{
	char c;

	printf("Hello, this is the end, lol\n");
	printf("Press any key to exit the window");
	scanf("%c", &c)

							//Shut down the window here
	window.close;     //???

	return 0;
	}

What do you mean "close" ?

If you're running the program inside the IDE, then all you need do is run into the "return 0;" and the temporary console window the IDE created to run your executable will disappear automatically (just see lots of other posts which complain about how to stop this happening, and the FAQ).

By close I mean "Exit" the window...And by adding return 0; the window won't close in Borland...It'll just stop running, waiting for you to press the X button

Did You Try

exit(1);

So it is a problem of the Borland IDE... You should study the project Options... Not modifying the code

I tried exit(1); but it has no effect...

I'm looking at the project options, vart...thanks for the tip

You are using windows? Then you can use Win32 API. There is a stupid way to do this...

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
int main(){
    getchar();
    SetConsoleTitle("unique");
    SendMessage(FindWindow(NULL,"unique"),WM_CLOSE,0,0);
    return 0;
}

It really is a stupid way...
