Main window??

by Eric D. Taylor · in Torque Game Engine · 01/08/2002 (11:41 am) · 8 replies

Hello everyone!!

I've been lurking around these forums since march of last year, and I have to say everyones been really helpful. My question should be an easy one so here goes...

How do get my version of the test app to open up in one window? I've been going through learning how to add and subtract items and modify the scripts, but i can't figure this one out. I'm obviously not a programmer. I am using VC++ 6 standard edition to open up the project files.

I always seem to get two instances(if that's the right term) one that opens the torque demo app little window and one that the test app actually runs in.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Eric

this was allready answered in a previous post. It has something to do with the way you compile it.
Search around the forums some more youll find it

The program is compiled as a console app, it simply needs to be changed to compile as a win32 app. Its a setting from build->settings I think.. there's a thread about it.

Thanks all,

1. In Visual C++ go to Project -> Settings.
2. In the Project Settings dialog box click on the Link tab.
3. Make sure you are looking at either Win32 Release or Win32 Debug version and not the All configurations option.
4. In Project Options at the bottom of the dialog box scroll down until you see the following settings...

/nologo /subsystem:console /incremental:yes
(it is usually immediately after the last .lib file.)

Change /subsystem:console to /subsystem:window

Click on OK.

That should do it.

Thanks for the useful tip.

BTW just so people don't get confused, it's "/subsystem:windows" (with an "s" on the end).
