C/C++ Console Windows WIN32

Question

I know how to "hide" them. I know about FreeConsole(); and then finding the handle and changing it's attributes. However with these methods the window still pops up for a second than goes away. How can I stop it from showing up completely?

Answer 1

Have you considered creating a windows application (with windows subsystem) instead of a console application? That should hide the console window all together.

Try looking at WinMain

Answer 2

I believe you need to be a GUI application to not have the console displayed. Check out /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS
