Hiding the console.

...
Is there a way to hide the win32 console window?
(Ex. When the program opens, the console doesn't show up but still runs in the background.)

If you want to hide it while it performs a particular task you could
do something like this example:

Code:

---

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
        static const char szTitle[] = "Generate a GUID Here";


        ::SetConsoleTitle( szTitle );


        Sleep( 2000 );


        HWND hWnd = NULL;
        while (NULL == hWnd)
        {
                hWnd = ::FindWindow( NULL, szTitle );
        }


        ShowWindow( hWnd, SW_HIDE );
        Sleep( 2000);
        ShowWindow( hWnd, SW_SHOWNA );
        Sleep( 2000 );


        return 0;
}

---

Or maybe create/compiler it as a GUI app instead of a console based one.

Could you please explain what you are doing in that code ? I'm not familiar with handles...
