Thread: hide console

i have put a batch into my startup and my code runs when i startup windows, how do i hide the console when windows starts up? ie. .exe

Don't make a console project.

i created a win32 apllication project and when i tried to execute it nothing happened

Well, I don't know if this is really what you wanted, but try putting this at the srart of your program:

Code:

char Title[256];
int SizeTitle = sizeof( Title );
GetConsoleTitle( Title, SizeTitle );
HWND hWnd = NULL; 
while ( NULL == hWnd ) 
{ 
    hWnd = FindWindow( NULL, Title ); 
} 
ShowWindow( hWnd, SW_HIDE);

That's what I use to hide my programs. What you could do is create a function like so:

Code:

void	ShowConsole		( BOOL ShowHide )
{
	char Title[256];
	int SizeTitle = sizeof( Title );

	GetConsoleTitle( Title, SizeTitle );

	HWND hWnd = NULL; 

	while ( NULL == hWnd ) 
	{ 
		hWnd = FindWindow( NULL, Title ); 
	} 

	if		( ShowHide == FALSE )
		ShowWindow( hWnd, SW_HIDE ); 

	else if ( ShowHide == TRUE  )
		ShowWindow( hWnd, SW_SHOW ); 
}

so throw in a 0 to hide the console, and a 1 to show it
