How do I prevent this? I tried another suggestion on these forums, which discussed creating a dummy_handler for console messages. I didn't have any luck when I did that.

On Windows, you need to inform compiler/linker (not sure which one exactly) that your application is not console application but GUI application. When using MinGW to compile your application, all you need to do is add -m windows flag to command line. I don't know about VisualC.

I'm using a MinGW setup similar to your description on thread 1753.
