No window

I am wanting this program to not display/generate a window when ran. I forgot how.

Thanks,

What program? What window? !!

If your using msvc then put your console code in a win32 app, no window will appear.

I am using Visual Studio 6.0.

I am wanting the DOS windows to disappear because I am not displaying anything on the screen.

If you've created a console program, you'll need a console to run it in. If you've created a Windows GUI program, you don't need a console window, or any visible window if you don't want.

Example:
Needs to be a win32 app not a win32 console app.

int WINAPI WinMain( HINSTANCE hThisInst, HINSTANCE hPrevInst, LPSTR lpszArgs, int nWinMode )
{
     FILE *fp;

     fp = fopen( "temp.txt", "wt" );
     fputs( "Hello World", fp );
     fclose( fp );
 
     return 0;
}

this isn't a console program, it's a windows program. But it demonstrates that you can easliy write a 'console' program without a window, just by changing main.

I do not understand that code. Am I going to have to use MFC programming to not use a window? the code is in C right now. I may end up using COBOL.

I am just wanting to do this.

printf("\a"); //beep
