_set_app_type

An internal function used at startup to tell the CRT whether the app is a console app or a GUI app.

Syntax

typedef enum _crt_app_type
{
    _crt_unknown_app,
    _crt_console_app,
    _crt_gui_app
} _crt_app_type;

void __cdecl _set_app_type(
    _crt_app_type appType
    ); 

Parameters

appType
A value that indicates the application type. The possible values are:

Value	Description
_crt_unknown_app	Unknown application type.
_crt_console_app	Console (command-line) application.
_crt_gui_app	GUI (Windows) application.
