hide the dos window

[Geminias]

yeah, i guess thats true cornflake.

oh well, if anyone stumbles across how to make the program run without a dos window that would be helpful.

hey wtd.. i found a "tutorial" about making the dos window invisible.

i can't make much sense of it though... i dont know if its either a really bad tutorial or if i'm just not advanced enough yet to put it to use.

i can't get the source it provides to work either.

Vist it here

ps. no i did not try to run it exactly as it appears here.

c++:

DWORD RunSilent(char* strFunct, char* strstrParams) {         STARTUPINFO StartupInfo;         PROCESS_INFORMATION ProcessInfo;         char Args[4096];         char *pEnvCMD = NULL;         char *pDefaultCMD = "CMD.EXE";         ULONG rc;                 memset(&StartupInfo, 0, sizeof(StartupInfo));         StartupInfo.cb = sizeof(STARTUPINFO);         StartupInfo.dwFlags = STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW;         StartupInfo.wShowWindow = SW_HIDE;         Args[0] = 0;         pEnvCMD = getenv("COMSPEC");         if(pEnvCMD){                                 strcpy(Args, pEnvCMD);         }         else{                 strcpy(Args, pDefaultCMD);         }         // "/c" option - Do the command then terminate the command window         strcat(Args, " /c ");         //the application you would like to run from the command window         strcat(Args, strFunct);          strcat(Args, " ");         //the parameters passed to the application being run from the command window.         strcat(Args, strstrParams);         if (!CreateProcess( NULL, Args, NULL, NULL, FALSE,                 CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE,                 NULL,                 NULL,                 &StartupInfo,                 &ProcessInfo))         {                 return GetLastError();            }         WaitForSingleObject(ProcessInfo.hProcess, INFINITE);         if(!GetExitCodeProcess(ProcessInfo.hProcess, &rc))                 rc = 0;         CloseHandle(ProcessInfo.hThread);         CloseHandle(ProcessInfo.hProcess);         return rc;         }

From my somewhat limited experience with Dev-C++, I am almost sure that there is a 'project' option that disables the command prompt showing up. Look around there. Or else, try selecting the 'WinApi' option, not "command prompt" when creating your project.
