I found that I can hide the window by issue this command

WINDOW HIDE, #ConsoleWindowClass

Does anyone else have a better way?

cnodnarb...sorry I wasn't clear...I'm compiling this as a console executable.

When I do that the console will always appear if I double click the executable.

Interesting!

Is your console program launching the GUI executable?

I figured a way around this. Here is a sample code. You need to compile as integrated console executable.

if you run the programing with any command parameters then it will print "-help display this help menu"

if you double click it, a GUI will show up plus a console. But the console gets hidden. This was my original issue. (I couldn't hide the console..but now I can)

However if you run it without any parameters, then it will hide the console that called it. I'm now looking for away around this.

Aha!

I don't have vds6 lol!!

Didn't know you guys could write to the console!

I would almost suggest writing the console app and the GUI front end as two separate executables, but this is from a non-VDS6 user, chances are someone will pop in that knows better than I do Wink
