I''m new to SDL and need some help. I''m running my program on Win 98. Currently the program only creates a window (similar to a "Hello World" senario) However, when I execute the program a Command Window pops up first, followed by the window that I created. Does anyone know how to prevent the command window from popping up? Thanks! Pal

Hmmm post the code you are using to do this.

Perhaps try making a Win32 application instead of a Win32 Console Application?

bad idea. all u need to do is place this one line somewhere along you std includes (at the top):

// no console window
#pragma comment(linker, "/subsystem:\"windows\" /entry:\"mainCRTStartup\"")

that''s all! :D

That did it!! Thanks shurcool! I searched around and couldn't find out how to do this. Is this documented? I now have another question a little off topic of my original post. What does the #pragma do? Aside from the basics, my C is quite rusty.

Thanks again!
