c++ - How to hide console windows when calling system()?

Question

currently im using system(""C:Program FilesCommon Filesmicrosoft sharedinkTabTip.exe""); to open up the virtual keyboard and system("TASKKILL /IM TabTip.exe /F"); to kill it

its seems working but there is always a console window poping up how can i get rid of that? thanks!

Answer 1

Add below code in the beginning of your main, then create "TabTip.exe" with popen api. Because there is a hidden console in your app now, TabTip.exe created by the popen won't be shown.

AllocConsole();
ShowWindow(GetConsoleWindow(), SW_HIDE);
