/PMTYPE Linker Option

Syntax: Default:
/PM[TYPE]:type /PMTYPE:VIO

Use /PMTYPE to specify the type of executable file that the linker generates. Do not use this option when generating dynamic link libraries (DLLs). When /PMTYPE is set for any file type other than executable files, it is ignored.

type must be one of the following:

PM The executable must be run in a window.
VIO The executable can be run either in a window or in a full screen.
NOVIO The executable must not be run in a window; it must use a full screen.

/PMTYPE Parameters
