Thread: Removing ribbon above display area

I have to give up. You need to find an website that supports your IDE.

Turns out that maybe TDM 64 bit was able to build 32 bit GUI; once I installed 32 bit MinGW GCC got the same blank command prompt like window frame that was empty.

When running an console program try running the program exe file from the cmd.exe window and see if it does what you want.

You can try this
Tools -> Environmental Options
Uncheck "Pause Console Programs after return"

This does NOT do what you requested; but, it does what other IDE newbies want and it might be what you want.

Found an answer to your code problem; it is piece together from multiple websites.

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdio>
#include <windows.h>

HWND GetConsoleHwnd(void);

/* run this program using the console pauser or add your own getch, system("pause") or input loop */

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
	HWND hWnd;
	
	hWnd = GetConsoleHwnd();
	
    SetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_STYLE, GetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_STYLE) & ~WS_BORDER);
    getc(stdin);
	return 0;
}

HWND GetConsoleHwnd(void)
   {
       #define MY_BUFSIZE 1024 // Buffer size for console window titles.
       HWND hwndFound;         // This is what is returned to the caller.
       char pszNewWindowTitle[MY_BUFSIZE]; // Contains fabricated
                                           // WindowTitle.
       char pszOldWindowTitle[MY_BUFSIZE]; // Contains original
                                           // WindowTitle.

       // Fetch current window title.

       GetConsoleTitle(pszOldWindowTitle, MY_BUFSIZE);

       // Format a "unique" NewWindowTitle.

       wsprintf(pszNewWindowTitle,"%d/%d",
                   GetTickCount(),
                   GetCurrentProcessId());

       // Change current window title.

       SetConsoleTitle(pszNewWindowTitle);

       // Ensure window title has been updated.

       Sleep(40);

       // Look for NewWindowTitle.

       hwndFound=FindWindow(NULL, pszNewWindowTitle);

       // Restore original window title.

       SetConsoleTitle(pszOldWindowTitle);

       return(hwndFound);
   }

Obtain a Console Window Handle - Windows Server | Microsoft Docs

I have never been an Windows GUI Programmer I have no idea how the above works.

Sorry about me thinking for a while that it was a Dev C++ Setting.

Thank all of you.
