LINK_FLAGS_DEBUG "/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE")
    set_target_properties(WindowApplicationExample PROPERTIES
RELWITHDEBINFO "/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE")
    set_target_properties(WindowApplicationExample PROPERTIES
LINK_FLAGS_RELEASE "/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS")
    set_target_properties(WindowApplicationExample PROPERTIES
