disable "Press Any Key to Continue . . ."

[evjo]

Hi All,

I have written a windows console app and we want to call it over and over again through scripts / batches etc, but the some how the application automatically produces a "Press Any Key to Continue . . ." at the end of its execution. I didn't add this in there, but I want to remove it, does anyone know how to do this?

thanks!

If you are running the console app (in Release mode) from within the IDE, this will appear.

Try running the application from a cmd window (outside the IDE). The 'Press any key...' should go away.

Yeah, the "Press any key..." is a courtesy of the development IDE, not an actual part of your program. If you actually look at Dev Studio executes your program, it creates a .bat file which it runs. In that bat file is a pause command.

Running your command directly will just cause the console to flash (pop up and go away instantly) if run via an icon, or just run normally from a console shell.
