I have been messing around with making a windows application in Dev-C++ I wanted to make it in a single source file, rather than a project to see if it worked. It did, other than the fact that I got the windows app, AND a DOS prompt behind it. Is there anyway to remove the DOS prompt? I will include the code, so that you can see what I mean.

How To Make Application Form
What's your project type? Did you specify a Win32 application in the project wizard?
Jun 28, 2009 Hi. I'm using dev C and want to make a windows app instead of making console programs all the time. The problem is when i go file new and select windows app it loads up a page with pre written code and i dont know where to. Aug 10, 2019 Choose the little picture which says 'Windows Application' and set the language as 'C', not 'C.' At the text box where it says 'Name', enter 'SimpleProgram.' Now, DEV-CPP will ask you where you wish to save it. Save the file in any directory, but just be sure to remember it.
How To Make A Simple Program In Dev C++
Originally released by Bloodshed Software, but abandoned in 2006, it has recently been forked by Orwell, including a choice of more recent compilers. It can be downloaded from:
http://orwelldevcpp.blogspot.comInstallation
Run the downloaded executable file, and follow its instructions. The default options are fine.Support for C++11
By default, support for the most recent version of C++ is not enabled. It shall be explicitly enabled by going to:Tools -> Compiler OptionsHere, select the 'Settings' tab, and within it, the 'Code Generation' tab. There, in 'Language standard (-std)' select 'ISO C++ 11':
Ok that. You are now ready to compile C++11!
Compiling console applications
To compile and run simple console applications such as those used as examples in these tutorials it is enough with opening the file with Dev-C++ and hitF11.As an example, try:
File -> New -> Source File (or Ctrl+N)There, write the following:
Then:
File -> Save As... (or Ctrl+Alt+S)And save it with some file name with a
.cpp extension, such as example.cpp.Now, hitting
F11 should compile and run the program.If you get an error on the type of
x, the compiler does not understand the new meaning given to auto since C++11. Please, make sure you downloaded the latest version as linked above, and that you enabled the compiler options to compile C++11 as described above.
