I compiled a win32 application with option -mn -WA.
But When I run this app, it first show a console window,
then show my app's main window. How can I remove the
console window?

What kind of main window does your application use?

OK, you are creating a GUI application and compiling it as console
application???
I don't think that really works.
I am kinda short in time today, but I posted a .DEF file and a linker line for a
GUI applications before here on the news groups.

How can you get rid of that console window (the place where the printf's and scanf's go) when you're creating an exclusive GUI app that doesn't need one ?

MS document and books about win32 programing said it dosen't need the .DEF
file while developing win32 program.
Why not get rid of it in dmC++?

The development tools are set up to make use of them. There is not a compelling enough reason to risk destabilizing them.
