Creating window in Invisible mode can achieve this .

Ajay L D

Hi, Any idea how I could do this in a command line application? Thank you, AJ

Naveen

Create a "Win32 Application" project.

What is the purpose of having an invisible window? What is it going to do? Why should it only be a command line application?

try the following,

#ifdef _UNICODE
#pragma comment (linker, "/subsystem:windows /entry:wmainCRTStartup")
#else //_UNICODE
#pragma comment (linker, "/subsystem:windows /entry:mainCRTStartup")
#endif //_UNICODE

it makes your application as windows application and since you are not creating any windows in console application (normally not) no UI is visible. you can also think about windows NT services.

You can also hide the console window,

ShowWindow(GetConsoleWindow(), SW_HIDE);

I was saying easy way to switch to "Win32 application" from a console application. Sorry if some thing wrong, But i would like to know the technical reason (will be appreciated) that gave me vote 1.

I don't understand why your previous post was voted down. I can only think that someone thinks the OP is trying to do a malicious program, for which you're providing him some assistance and so they voted you down. Anyways, I know that you won't assist someone to do a malicious program and so I'll try to bring up the score.

Are you looking for a windows service

Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them. ;-)_AnShUmAn_

Thank buddy, Invisible app can be easily created in windows subsystem application, even a beginner (win32) can understand. So nothing prevents he from creating malicious program. He can have good intention also.

Rajesh R Subramanian

Well, that was only my guess. Besides that, I couldn't think of a reason why someone down-voted you. :)
