Remove console

[lloydqt]

Hi,

I am building a Qt application In Windows using VisualStudio 2013, Qt 5.3 and CMake. In release mode I wish to hide the console Window. What is the right way to do that.

I have checked different options, One was to change "main" to "WinMain" and change the subsystem to "Windows" from "Console". But the samples in Qt uses main, and i believe main is the right entry point to use.

What is the correct way?

Thanks a lot in Advance,
Lloyd

Is your application a console application or a widget application?
If it is a widget application then remove CONFIG += console in your PRO file.

Its a Widget application.

What I understood from your reply is to remove the subsystem "CONSOLE". Then it will throw an error unresolved external symbol "WinMain" as "main" is my entry point!

If I write WinMain the code won't be portable!

Hi,

IIRC, you need add set(GUI_TYPE WIN32) to your pro file.

Hope it helps

In cmake file i was using

ADD_EXECUTABLE(MyExec ${MYEXEC_SRC} )

The problem is solved when I changed it to

ADD_EXECUTABLE(MyExec WIN32 ${MYEXEC_SRC} )
