call in view pro

 [1/6] from: bry:itnisk at: 29-Oct-2002 16:31


If I use call in view pro is there any way to keep the cmd.exe window from popping up?

Not that I've found. You always get a little bit of a flicker, even using --nowindow. Under Windows, you can use the ShellExecute API to do it though. --Gregg

So you're suggesting use ShellExecute via shell32.dll as an external library? Is there the same problem on Unix flavored versions of Rebol? of course I suppose there a shell popping up is a symbol of respect. :)

Under Linux, there's no shell window popping up (if you don't have the Rebol console window open, remember to redirect input, output and standard error) Andy

I very doubt that. In the unix world, the console rules. They don't usually make any assumptions about window managers being open or graphics libraries present etc. The reason we get a console window popping up in windows is because windows console support sucks. Anton.
