Find out where the compiler puts a.exe,
and then open a window there,
and then run a.exe from that window, instead of from the IDE.

Did you try using getch() as the last statement of your main.

Since getch() is not a standard C function, use getchar() instead.

Obviously, some code expecting you to press the Enter key before
continuing. Even as a beginner you should be able to figure it out.

Or, don't bother at all and keep a console window permanently open.
Rebuild the program from the IDE, but execute it from your console.

The OP will probably need two of them if they are reading input with scanf.

If the code only has one getchar call, it will typically swallow the newline left in the
stream and the program will exit immediately (closing the window) as before.

Correct, but actually I use this as a test from time to time:
if the program didn't stop on the final getchar(), I know my
code failed to correctly consume all given input.

Or try
system("pause") ;
you need to include <stdlib.h>

I have an asp page that is attached to database and I want to update the database when the window is closed. It is basically 5 text boxes wide by 8 text boxes high and these are all dynamically built by the database loading. I know exactly what textbox has what in it. I can do everything by submitting a form but I do not want a button to submit. Is there a way to when the window is closed run update code for a database.

See: http://www.mattkruse.com/temp/window_closed.html It looks like the .closed property of a window is inaccessible if the window is actually closed. Other browsers have no problem detecting that the window has been closed. Opera 7.11 and 7.20b7 both throw errors when trying to check the .closed property. Is this a bug in Opera, or do I have to (once again) take special action to make normal javascript work with Opera?

Morning All, I have some code for a website which uses 'window.open' to simulate modal dialog boxes. I use the window.closed property to decide if the window object exists at various points. This has been fine until last week when I started getting javascript 'Permission Denied' errors when I try to access this property. I suspect that a windows update has caused this somehow, as this code has not changed for a very long time. Can...
