cmd opens with new window

[zobadof]

MattyRobot as you may know him, gave me the code to make a new window, but it opens up cmd window too. I would like it so the window opens only. If anyone knows the code, I would be more than happy to find out

Post code or a link to the code.

#include <windows.h>

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
    switch(msg)
    {
        case WM_CLOSE:
            DestroyWindow(hwnd);
        break;
        case WM_DESTROY:
            PostQuitMessage(0);
        break;
        default:
            return DefWindowProc(hwnd, msg, wParam, lParam);
    }
    return 0;
}


int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
    WNDCLASSEX wc;
    HWND hwnd;
    MSG msg;


    wc.cbSize        = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX);
    wc.style         = 0;
    wc.lpfnWndProc   = WndProc;
    wc.cbClsExtra    = 0;
    wc.cbWndExtra    = 0;
    wc.hInstance     = hInstance;
    wc.hIcon         = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
    wc.hCursor       = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
    wc.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)(COLOR_WINDOW+1);
    wc.lpszMenuName  = NULL;
    wc.lpszClassName = "classname";
    wc.hIconSm       = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);

    if(!RegisterClassEx(&wc))
    {
        MessageBox(NULL, "FAILED!!!!", "ERROR", MB_OK | MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
    }

    hwnd = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, "classname", "Hello World", WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, 640, 480, NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL);

    if(hwnd == NULL)
    {
        MessageBox(NULL, "FAILED!!!", "ERROR", MB_OK | MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
    }

    ShowWindow(hwnd, SW_SHOW);
    UpdateWindow(hwnd);


    while(GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0) > 0)
    {
        TranslateMessage(&msg);
        DispatchMessage(&msg);
    }
    return msg.wParam;
}

This is the code he gave me, it opens a cmd window as well as a new window. Do you know why or could you re post correct code?

This will solve your problem:

HWND hWnd = GetConsoleWindow();
ShowWindow( hWnd, SW_HIDE );

Cheers. I will use that in the code and see if any errors come up.
