Hide Console Window - Scorpion - 02-26-2010

What's Up?

OK, So I'm using a console application, And upon execution the ugly console window rears it's head, Is it possible to execute some commands without that window poping up?

Thanks Bye.

Um I'm not sure what you mean, can you please expand on your question?

You can do a few things, click on your form and change some of these settings.

Window State: Minimized (will start minimized)
Show in Taskbar: Flase (removes icon from taskbar)
Opacity: 0%

That should hide it.

Ohhhh, I get it. Wouldn't this work:

Code:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        Me.Hide()

    End Sub

Lol yeah. Tongue

I've only just started using Vb again. Going straight from VB6 to VB.NET2008 is a bit of a learning curve, especially as I haven't done any coding in a year!
