Run functions under what?

[leoo]

I downloaded some source codes that I compiled, and when I run it nothing happends, just a regular cmd box appears and closes, I added int main into one .cpp file.

My first question is do I need to add int main in order to get the program working as a .executable file?

I added int main bcuz of a crtMainstart up error, when I added a other code under the int main function from the project it works while if I put it outside out of the int main function it doesn't. So how I would make all classes, structures to work under as the same behaviour that the int main function does? Is there any main header file I would need to include?

Closure of a console window is not meant to be postponed. Running the program through command prompt will preserve the program's output history.

Don't do that. Not all programs use "int main( )" as the entry-point.

Okay, thanks, and I saw that my source files that I had downloaded had vc++ menus, so it had a missed entry-point, I included them into the project. So it's fixed now.
