创建windwows Qt应用程序，不启动cmd窗口

Question

I've a cross platform app (it's a basic ellipsoid drawing example using Qt).It compiles and I can execute it form a command prompt. For linux I know how to create a .desktop file so I can launch the app that does not show a terminal when it is launched. However on windows, when I double click on the exe file in the explorer, it does not only luanches the Qt gui that I coded, but also a cmd window. Is there a way in windows to prevent the application to open this cmd window when I dobule click it on the explorer?

In windows I set up the project using cmake-gui and then I open the generated visual studio solution and compile it using microsoft visual studio 2019

I've solved this issue with this previous post hint. I added some lines in my final cpp file where the main is created has been modified to:

//... all includes and other things previous to main function
#ifdef _WIN32
  #pragma comment(linker, "/SUBSYSTEM:windows /ENTRY:mainCRTStartup")
#endif
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{//... rest of code
