  • Run a hwgui program in tray bar show a console window

    From Jmar@21:1/5 to All on Thu Feb 9 12:20:21 2023
    Hello,

    I have made an application that runs in tray bar, I use xharbour+hwgui+xmate. It works fine but it leaves me with a blank console window while the app is running.
    Any help so that window doesn't appear?
    thank you so much

    Probably, you have to instruct your C compiler/linker to generate a GUI application, not a CONSOLE one.

    This is not true. Neither gtwin nor gtgui are required with FWH.

    You should check which libs should be included when using hmg, and those are the ones you should use in your xmate script. I don't remember which is the gt lib that hmg uses, for example in fivewin instead of using gtwin it's gtgui, when using gtwin a
    black cmd window appears.

    This is not true. Neither gtwin nor gtgui are required with FWH.

    On the contrary, gtwin is required for console programs:

    vm.lib(mainstd.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _HB_FUN_HB_GT_WIN referenced in function _hb_gt_ForceLink_HB_GT_WIN

    I also had gtgui in my library list but at least it is not required now.
    Maybe it was required in the past, I don't remember.

    I have solved my problem, you were right, I included the gtgui library in the link.
    When you remove it, the console window no longer appears.
    I have verified that gtwin.lib and gtgui.lib are not needed if you use hwgui.lib

    Thanks to all for the help
