how to make non-GUI MFC application?


I did a project based on MFC, it has GUI of course. Now i need to change it to non-Gui. So, whenever i start build the project, it should run in the background rather to show GUI.

I hope my question is clear. Kindly suggest me . thanks


Solution

  • It's not the easiest thing to do as a retrofit. Easiest approach would be to make the UI hidden by using ShowWindow(SW_HIDE) on the main window (and any secondary windows and the equivalent for any other UI elements).
