How can I prevent my program from closing when a open console window is closed?

Question

I am trying to open the console from my main program (Win32). I found some code, and it works, but I don\'t understand it. The problem I\'m happening is that when I click X

One thing you can do is disable the close button on the console window:

HWND hwnd = ::GetConsoleWindow();
if (hwnd != NULL)
{
   HMENU hMenu = ::GetSystemMenu(hwnd, FALSE);
   if (hMenu != NULL) DeleteMenu(hMenu, SC_CLOSE, MF_BYCOMMAND);
}
