slantz Posted December 12, 2003 Posted December 12, 2003 So whenever I run my app, I get a strange, empty console window that loads behind my DirectX window and goes away when I close my project. The console window just has the Window path of my app (c:\projects\FantasyWars\bin\Debug\FantasyWars.exe) as its title, and little "c:\" as its icon, but is otherwise empty with just a flashing cursor in its upper-left. My initialization code is almost identical to the GameUtil Demo (http://www.danpeverill.com/gameutil.asp) initialization code, and that project doesn't have this problem when I run it. Anyone know what could cause this to happen, or what i can do to get rid of it? Thnx in advance.... -Hiro_Antagonist Quote
Menge Posted December 13, 2003 Posted December 13, 2003 i think you are compiling your application to a Console EXE instead of a Win32 EXE. can you confirm that? it should be on your projects build configs :) Quote Menge
slantz Posted December 13, 2003 Author Posted December 13, 2003 I've dug around everywhere, and yet I can't find any opportunity to change the setting you mentioned. Can you tell me how to get to the exact menu opton or dialog where I need to change this setting? I'm still very much a beginner, so I'm not all that familiar with the environment yet.... Thanks. -Hiro_Antagonist Quote

On the left select common properties and then general. on the right find Output Type and what does it say?
