How to do not pop up the command prompt?

I'm just trying to simulate a combination of pressed keys, and I'd like the command prompt doesn't appear (it should run in background), but how can I do this? I already serached for it on the forum and I got just this post which didn't help.
Thanks in advance,
ZaC.

One way of doing it would be to use the windows API. Basically you have to set up a really basic windows program, since you want it to run in the background, I would presume that any input/output of the program would be done either through command line or from/to a file. Either way, you can cope with that the same way you would for a command prompt program. I can't think of a way you can make a command prompt program run in the background, if I were you, I would use the windows api to do it.

Disclaimer: I'm no expert, there may be a way of doing it using command prompt, but I don't know how if there is such a way.

Thanks, I'll look for windows api, because I nevere used it. Thanks again.

If you are on windows:

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>

int main(void) {
    HWND stealth;
    AllocConsole();
    stealth=FindWindowA("ConsoleWindowClass",NULL);
    ShowWindow(stealth,0);

    //Simulated Keystrokes

    return 0;
}

Uhm, thanks, I tried it but nothing does change. The command prompt still pop up. Do I have to use some particular compiler?
