There are two ways to hide the console window. Depending on the Compiler one of them will work.. Recommended for programming spy or background tools..
/* Method 1 to hide or show console window */
void stealth()
{
ShowWindow( GetConsoleWindow(), SW_HIDE );
}
void reveal()
{
ShowWindow( GetConsoleWindow(), SW_RESTORE );
}
