close the console once GUI is loaded?

Hello,

My application needs to be started through console.. Or in other words, on double clicking, myprog.exe, a small terminal opens, which leads a GUI window to be displayed.. What i want is to close the console once my GUI is loaded. How can i do this.??

Thanks

Create a console with:

Code:

---

// Allocate a new console.
AllocConsole();
       
// Redirect stdout to the console.
_tfreopen( _T("CONOUT$"), ("a+t"), stdout);

---

When you're done with it...

Code:

---

FreeConsole( );

---

Consult msdn for options with regard to _tfreopen params.

Why not try the code I posted and find out? Then try Ovidio's code.
