GUI application opens console window on execution

[darus]

Hi.

I've started using CodeBlocks two days ago.

I'm trying to create a wxWidgets application. I've created test app with static unicode wxWidgets template, so my *.cbp file looks like:

Code

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE Code::Blocks_project_file>
<Code::Blocks_project_file>
	<FileVersion major="1" minor="1"/>
	<Project>
		<Option title="wxWidgets application"/>

		<Build>
			<Target title="default">
				<Option type="0"/>
			</Target>
			<Environment>
				<Variable name="WX_DIR" value="C:\wxWidgets-2.6.2"/>
				<Variable name="WX_CFG" value=""/>
			</Environment> 
		</Build>
		<Compiler>
			<Add option="-pipe"/>
			<Add option="-mthreads"/>
			<Add option="-Winvalid-pch"/>
			<Add option="-include &quot;wx_pch.h&quot;"/>
			<Add option="-D__GNUWIN32__"/>

		<Unit filename="wx_pch.h">

		</Unit>
	</Project>
</Code::Blocks_project_file>

When running resulting *.exe from Explorer two windows are shown: console and gui. What is the annoying console window for? Is there any way to get rid of it?

Sorry for my bad english, I' m from Russia.

Thanks!

Be sure in Project -> Properties, Target tab, the Type is "GUI application" and no "Console application".

Now all you need is your application is re-linked (rebuild should do, or just add a new line at the end of any file).

If that doesn't work (it should), add -mwindows to the linker options (for MinGW).

Target type is "GUI application", yes.

Adding "-mwindows" to linkers options helped. Console window is gone 

Thanks a lot!
