I am not sure if it is possible to create the empty definition without showing the result.

I know that if you want to continue creating the definition, you can type the code in the popup window or you can maximise the window using <Ctrl+Alt+Home> or clicking the button near the “DownloadCode.cpp*”. If you do not want to continue creating the definition, you can close the popup or press <Esc>.

Hi @drjackool-3839 ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Do you mean that you don’t want to open the source file as a inline editor?

If so, you can view the similar issue:
