Hello all, i have a quick question about win32 api programming using the IDE DevC++. Everytime i compile it comes out ok and everything but it's always accompanied by a command prompt everytime i run the exe. Am i doing something wrong? It happens with every single file i run. Thanks in advance

Do you mean the Win32 GUI CreateWindowEx or the API MessageBox, or something else?

I followed some tutorials at http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/ and they call it Win32 API programming.

When you created your project, was it a Console Application or a Windows Application? The former will always spawn a console window while the latter will require you to define your own WinMain to build a window manually if you so choose.

Whow I see what the problem is now lol, I kept using the new "source file" option instead of "project". I just re did the code in the project section and no dos prompt comes up anymore thanks for the help!
