Hi Viktor, I've tried to answer also yesterday but somehow my messages does not show up. HB_NOSTARTUPWINDOW is been used to reduce flickering on startup of an application. Because the wvt uses by default a specific font size and current setmode (80,25) to show the window if even in the start of your application you are changing fonts and setmode you can see lot of flickering. Maybee the way is not the best but it help a lot to reduce the applications flickering. I'm using it under gtwvw also. I'm not sure if the same happen with wvt but I also moved the showwindow later on the application and the windows opening is very smooth now.

Subject: [Harbour] HB_NOSTARTUPWINDOW ? Hi all, Can anyone tell me what is the purpose of the HB_NOSTARTUPWINDOW GTWVT hack? If someone is using GTWVT why is it good to _hide_ the console window? [ We have GTGUI, which is similar to the above feature, but much faster and without an ugly hack. ] Also, we have a similar one, but compile-time in GTWIN, named HB_NO_ALLOC_CONSOLE. Do we need this? Isn't GTGUI enough for those who don't want a window?
