close the console once GUI is loaded?

[rakeshthp]

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:

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

When you're done with it...

FreeConsole( );

Consult msdn for options with regard to _tfreopen params.

Hi..

By doing this, will i be able to view only GUI app..? or along with that separate console will be coming..??

I dont want console at all to be displayed.. its ok if it is running in background or invisible..

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