Output screen

How do I suppress the output window when compiling, so that it does not show in my compiled finished GUI program? I've spent hours trawling through documentation but I must have missed it. Many thanks in advance. rolleyes

It is there, under 'Command and Editing Window... Utilities menu... Compile... Appearance... Initial window state':

You will want to choose Hidden from the list of states. You can automate this by adding a REM!Window Compiler Directive to your program, for example:

Code:
      REM!Window 0,0,hidden,xpstyle

(don't forget the xpstyle because that is important when targeting Windows Vista and later).
