console or project

[foobarbaz]

Hi,
Whats the difference between win32 console application and win32 project when you select new project and go through the menu's.

thanks in advance,

Win32 console application makes a console program:

1) the black console box where you use cin / cout
2) entry point is the typical int main() or int main(int argc, char* argv[])

========================

Win32 Project makes a WinAPI program:

1) no window pops up unless you actually create it somehow (with DialogBox, CreateWindowEx, or some other such function)
2) entry point is int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE inst,HINSTANCE prev,LPSTR cmd,int show)



WinAPI programs are more for GUI stuff where you don't really use the console.
