suppressing a dos window

Unknown

I've compiled a program using VC++ 5.0 but it's not a

Windows program therefore when it runs from within

Windows 95/nt a DOS window pops up until the

executable completes. How can I run the executable

with the DOS/command window hidden?

Uh.. is your program a console program or something? If so, it's probably running inside that DOS window. That's what console programs do. If you want to have it fullscreen, press Alt-Enter inside it. A program must either run in a Dos Window, in a DIRECTX environment or be a WinGUI program. It seems like yours if the first.

To be more specific we are running an application

router that takes an information stream from a

browser that uses its mime type to kick off our

dos app. The dos app looks at some header info

and then will run an ms excel or word doc and

use the stream as input. We would like it if the

black box never appeared. It is purly for looks,

people don't like to see the dox box appear before

their app comes up... Thanks for your input, Cliff.
