I m trying to make the program automatically run without showing the user interface.

I m trying to use enddialog()and destroywindow() function in CDialog Class. But I find either way will terminate the program. What I expect is to just hide or close the dialog box but the program can continue (sending or receiving data). Anyone knows how to achieve this?

Thanks ahead.

Why are you using a Dialog box in this instance? Create a normal Windows application and make sure it is not visible when the program runs.

Remove the WS_VISIBLE style from the window or dialog.

But ... do something to allow the user to make it visible again, otherwise it will be impossible to close your app.
