I tried various ways of creating a Go program that only displays either a MessageBox or a standalone GUI window. If I were to write this in C / C++ I would just define a WinMain, leave out the main and I would be good to go. It seems to me that as soon as I define a main function a console window is created automatically. And the main function is compulsory.
package main func main() { ... } To avoid this I tried an example which creates a WinMain
func WinMain(wproc uintptr) { hInstance := GetModuleHandle(nil) ... } But the effect is the same: an empty console window and a GUI window:

"SW_HIDE" hides the window, while "SW_SHOW" shows the window.
FileName = "cmdow.exe"; HideConsole. Start(); Add the exe to the solution, set the build action to "Content", set Copy to Output Directory to what suits you, and cmdow will hide the console window when it is ran.
Simply save it with a . pyw extension. This will prevent the console window from opening.
Add -ldflags -H=windowsgui to your go build/install command line. You'll see that the console window is absent:
