We usually use a compiler with a graphical user interface, to compile our C program. This can also be done by using cmd. The command prompt has a set of steps we need to perform in order to execute our program without using a GUI compiler.
Two options. Great, now that Visual Studio Community is installed, you have two options for developing and running C programs on Windows. The first option involves using any text editor you like to write your source code, and using the "cl" command within the Developer Command Prompt to compile your code.
If you wrote the console application you can make it hidden by default.
Create a new console app then then change the "Output Type" type to "Windows Application" (done in the project properties)
If you are using the ProcessStartInfo class you can set the window style to hidden - in the case of console (not GUI) applications, you have to set CreateNoWindow to true:
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo start =
new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
start.FileName = dir + @"\Myprocesstostart.exe";
start.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden; //Hides GUI
start.CreateNoWindow = true; //Hides console
If you are using Process Class then you can write
yourprocess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
yourprocess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
before yourprocess.start(); and process will be hidden
Simple answer is that: Go to your console app's properties(project's properties).In the "Application" tab, just change the "Output type" to "Windows Application". That's all.
