Run OpenCV application without console window

Question

How can i start a OpenCV application without the console window in background? I have a app that uses the webcam and i would like to see only the webcam window.

Thank you.

OpenCV is a library, not an application framework - what's the top-level application? — regularfry, May 02 '11 at 20:31
What's the top-level application? What do you mean? I use VS 2010 and OpenCV2.1. — Andrei Bularca, May 02 '11 at 20:33

You get a console window because the program you created is a console program, this has nothing to do with OpenCV. You need to change the type of your program from console to standard (windowed) Windows.

This SO post lists the different solutions to do this, but the easiest is to change your main() function name to WinMain().
