[Tex/LaTex] tocloft package adds page number to first side of table of contents

header-footertable of contentstocloft

I have a problem with the tocloft package. Whenever I try to include it in my document, the first page (only) of the table of contents contains a page number, even so I don´t want any page numbers at all for the toc. When I remove the \usepackage{tocloft} call, the toc is displayed without a page number, so somehow it must be messing up the layout…

Is there a way to tell tocloft to not adjust anything in the table of contents?

\pagestyle{empty} and \thispagestyle{empty}

don´t solve the problem.

Note: I am using the tocloft package only so I can create a list of equations (via \newlistof command from tocloft). So I would also be glad about way to get the \newlistof command without the tocloft package.

EDIT: Example:

Thank you for considering my problem: Here is a code example:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[export]{adjustbox}% http://ctan.org/pkg/adjustbox
\usepackage{tocloft}
\usepackage{amsmath,amsthm,amssymb}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
...
//the part responsible for creating creating the listofequations
\newcommand{\listequationsname}{} 
\newlistof{myequations}{equ}{\listequationsname} 
\newcommand{\myequations}[1]{% 
\addcontentsline{equ}{myequations}{\protect\numberline{\theequation}#1}\hfill} 
...
//sample equation
\begin{equation}\label{eq:Eq1}
a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}
\end{equation}
\myequations{Satz des Pythagoras \ref{eq:Eq1}}
...
//displaying the list of equations
\subsection{Equations}
\renewcommand{\listequationsname}{}
\listofmyequations

Thanks in advance!

SOLUTION:

The command posted by Andrew Swann as a comment solved the issue for me.
I only had to add \renewcommand{\cftaftertoctitle}{\thispagestyle{empty}} before \tableofcontents

Thank you alot!

The manual suggests \renewcommand{\cftafterZtitle}{\thispagestyle{empty}} where Z is the list type. In your case Z is equ so you should add

\renewcommand{\cftafterequtitle}{\thispagestyle{empty}}

to your preamble.

By the way, your command \myequations should end with \ignorespaces instead of \hfill so that following text doesn't necessarily start a new paragraph.

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[export]{adjustbox}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\usepackage{amsmath,amsthm,amssymb}

% the part responsible for creating creating the listofequations
\newcommand{\listequationsname}{} 
\newlistof{myequations}{equ}{\listequationsname} 
\newcommand{\myequations}[1]{% 
\addcontentsline{equ}{myequations}{\protect\numberline{\theequation}#1}\ignorespaces} 
\renewcommand{\cftafterequtitle}{\thispagestyle{empty}}

If the sides of a right-angle triangle in the Euclidean plane have
lengths \( a \), \( b \), \( c \) with \( c \) the length of the
hypotenuse, then they are related by
\begin{equation}
  \label{eq:Pyth}
  a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}.
\end{equation}
\myequations{Pythagoras' Theorem} Note that this equation has integer
solutions such as \( (a,b,c) = (3,4,5) \).  This should be contrasted
with Fermat's equation
\begin{equation}
  \label{eq:Fermat}
  a^{n} + b^{n} = c^{n},\quad\text{for \( n\geqslant 3 \).}
\end{equation}
