I'm new to VC++

Ok, you Visual Studio people out there probably will laugh at this... but o well...

Here is some simple code that works fine...its just that when it reaches return 0; it displays "Press a key to continue..." and I don't have system("Pause") anywhere in my code...

Code:

---

int main()
{
    Menu();
    cout<<"\n\t\t\t      Quitting";
    Sleep(500);
    cout<<".";
    Sleep(500);
    cout<<".";
    Sleep(500);
    cout<<".";
    return 0;
}

Are there any settings I should be aware of to disable the automatic system("Pause") thing thats goin on here?

Maybe you compiled a debug build or something, compile a release build and see if that pause goes away.

Yes. VC++ does that only when you are in Debug mode if I recall. Otherwise, run your program through DOS or whatever console you have and run your program, it will not do it.

I'll resist the urge since it would be beating a dead horse to death.

Sufficient to say....plz do some research about console before attempting to give advice.

What do you mean ? Smartass.

(laughs at above posts)
Well now I have the code being compiled with a Release Win32 configuration...it still displays the message...

I think it only does that if you run it from within Visual Studio. Try going to your Debug or Release folder and double clicking the exe

Usually if you run your programs from within the ide they will behave in that manner. If you run them from a command prompt both the 'debug' and 'release' builds should behave as expected.

I beat you all to it.

By the way, by 'console' I meant 'command-line'.

Edit: And yes you can have a console other than the default one, in the case that you weren't already informed of that..

JaWiB was right... its just the IDE configuration...

Know, young padawan, that doing what I said is the very same thing as what JaWiB said. Double-clicking the .exe file or loading it with the command-line is the exact same thing.

yea i figured that... but im too lazy... lol
Im use to the quick button in Dev C++
