Write silent program
Thread Solved |
I wish to write a program that works in the background, i.e. without showing any windows. Someone prescribed i try this:
<code>
#include <windows.h>
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nShowCmd)
{
while(1)
{
Sleep(1000);
}
return 0;
}
<code>
but its not working. it still shows the CMD window. I am using Dev-C++. Could anyone advice me?

One, you have to specify to the linker that it's a windowed application.
Then you get the window handle, and with ShowWindow(), in the second parameter use SW_HIDE.
edit:
You'll probably also want to look into lowering the task priority.
