I'm not sure about this, but I've just been trying to do some of the same
stuff.  I was able to use "FreeConsole()" to detach the process from the
console.  The process seems to keep running but the console goes away.

As I said, I haven't done much with this - just an initial attempt and it
seemed to work.  Someone else may have more insight.
