Difference between WIN32 Application and WIN32 Console Application wizard
-
HI, Could you please clarify that what is the diference between WIN32 Application and WIN32 Console Application wizard provided in VC++ (New -> Projects tab) wizards Thanks Regards.
The difference is that AppWizard generates a different stdafx.h for the two project types. For a Win32 app, stdafx.h includes windows.h , but for a Win32 console app stdafx.h does not include windows.h. Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them. ;-) _AnShUmAn_

The system creates a new console when it starts a console process, a character-mode process whose entry point is the main function. For example, the system creates a new console when it starts the command processor. When the command processor starts a new console process, the user can specify whether the system creates a new console for the new process or whether it inherits the command processor's console. A process can create a console by using one of the following methods: -A GUI or console process can use the CreateProcess function with CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE to create a console process with a new console. (By default, a console process inherits its parent's console, and there is no guarantee that input is received by the process for which it was intended.) -A graphical user interface (GUI) or console process that is not currently attached to a console can use the AllocConsole function to create a new console. (GUI processes are not attached to a console when they are created. Console processes are not attached to a console if they are created using CreateProcess with DETACHED_PROCESS.) Currently I am working as software engineer at Network System Technologies Pvt. Ltd (NeST). Most of my project are in C++. Most interesting are is GUI programming.

Yes if you want to Windows based GUI apps. Otherwise you'll get errors

There are two major differences between Win32 console and Win 32 application. 1.If it is win32 console application,
mainCRTStartup()gets called first,which inturn callsmain()method. If it is win32 application,thenWinMainCRTStartup()gets called as Entry point ,which in turn callsWinMain2.Under compiler settings, the/subsystemflag is set to/subsystem:windowsfor Win32 application,/subsystem:consolefor Win32 console application.

Simple. Win32 app creates a MSWindows type interface and Win32 Console Application creates a MSDOS (Similar to command prompt). http://www.sunlightd.com/Windows/FAQ.html#ConsoleIntro[^]

The former creates a Win32 application while the latter creates a console application. I'm assuming you know the difference betweeen a Win32 application and a console application, yes?
