Console application with no screen output

[reinaldogarcia]

I have an console application that outputs only to files and I would like to suppress the windows that automaticaly the console application creates.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

Reinaldo

Not as a console application. What you want to do is make it a "Windowing Application" with a WinMain entry point. You can skip all of the stuff about window creation and class registration - all you need is the WinMain function with the right declaration (the project wizard will create one for you) and the rest can be discarded. When this program is run, there will be nothing on the screen that you didn't put there.

Here's what a minimal source would look like:

[plain]integer(DWORD) function WinMain( hInstance, hPrevInstance, lpszCmdLine, nCmdShow )
!DEC$ ATTRIBUTES STDCALL, DECORATE, ALIAS : 'WinMain' :: WinMain

use ifwinty

implicit none
    
integer(HANDLE) hInstance
integer(HANDLE) hPrevInstance
integer(LPVOID) lpszCmdLine
integer(DWORD) nCmdShow

! Your code goes here

end function WinMain[/plain]
