Visual C++ application opens a command prompt behind the form

I created a empty CLR project in Visual Studio 2017 and added Windows Forms. After starting the app there opens a command prompt and my form application. Is there any way to diable the command prompt? Sreenshot

Ok. Finaly I got the forms working correctly with just seting the entry point to main and the SubSystem to Windows (/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS). Also I added some lines to the MyForm.cpp. Now it looks like

#include "MyForm.h"

using namespace System;
using namespace System::ComponentModel;
using namespace System::Collections;
using namespace System::Windows::Forms;
using namespace System::Data;
using namespace System::Drawing;


[STAThreadAttribute]
int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
{
    Application::EnableVisualStyles();
    Application::SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
    Project1::MyForm mainForm;
    Application::Run(%mainForm);
    return 0;
}

You need to change running subsystem from Console to GUI in project's properties (see the image attached).

Also don't forget to use int WINAPI wWinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, PWSTR pCmdLine, int nCmdShow); as your main function.
