Hi, I just created my own type of start up folder for all of my rendering programs. (ie: rhino Bryce autocad . .etc.) Now to fine tune my program i wanted to know a way to hide or make the command prompt that runs the program not appear. Any help on what command to do this would help. Thank You ;)
Sure. You start the whole thing as a Win32 project, not a Win32 console project.
For command line, you pass /subsystem:windows instead of /subsystem:console to the MS linker.
And when you've done that, you need to use WinMain as the startup function instead of main.
Other Windows compilers have something equivalent.
Im really new to programming so im a lil confused this is what i have so far. It opens the programs and so does command prompt, could u show me where I have to type the subsystem and winmain? TY
Code:#include <cstdlib>
int main() \\im guessing this is where i type in the win main
{
system("acad2003.exe");
system("rhino1.exe.exe");
system("bryce01.exe.exe");
return 0;
}
Your code would look like this:
As for the subsystem setting, that's a project/compiler option. What compiler are you using?Code:#include <windows.h>
int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, int)
{
// ShellExecute essentially does the same as system, but you don't need yet another header for it.
ShellExecute(0, 0, "acad2003.exe", 0, 0, SW_SHOW);
ShellExecute(0, 0, "rhino1.exe", 0, 0, SW_SHOW);
ShellExecute(0, 0, "bryce01.exe", 0, 0, SW_SHOW);
return 0;
}
Im using Dev-C++ and i found the option to do the windows application instead of console project. THanks for yur help. You and all you programming gurus are the best. I dont know why programmers as a whole get a bad rep. THX again!!
