Hide Windows Console?

[tysenmoore-xse]

When running the executable from Windows the Console window is still show. I see there is a ShowWindow call that should hide the window but it is not doing the trick. I've tried this in Win10 and Win7. Is there a simple solution to this problem? Or is this known and expected?

For those interested you can modify the code in systray/systray.cpp InitInstance() and replace:

ShowWindow(hWnd, nCmdShow); UpdateWindow(hWnd);

with

FreeConsole();

This will open a console very fast and close it. There may be better solutions, but this is good enough for my use case.

For further reference my previously described solution works when I use go run main.go but if you build an application executable it does not work. To build the Windows version without the console window popping up you need:
go build -ldflags -Hwindowsgui main.go
