1. program launching
I would like to launch a program which opens a window for displaying stuff
while executing w/o having to click a 'start' button or some other user
intervention. I can't figure out how to do this? Can anyone offer
asuggestion? ....thanks
george
2. Re: program launching
well, i guess i didn't explain it good enough. launching the program (win32
app) is done from another program and is not the problem. The problem is the
window opens but nothing will execute until an event ocurrs (like a
'continue' button being clicked). I want the window to open and the program
begin to execute displaying stuff in the status bar without the user having
to do anything.
I can do this.....onClick[Continue] = routine_id("Main") .... but i would
like not to have any user action required.

Put a shortcut to ex.exw on the desktop, with parameters to run your code.
Launch by clicking the same as any other program on the desktop. To
change properties, right click on the desktop icon, select Properties, then
select Shortcut, and on the Target line, enter the interpreter location, space,
then your program name. Like this:
D:\Euphoria\BIN\EXW.EXE D:\Euphoria\webgetter\SHEPHERD.EXW
Now, when i click on it, it runs. If i put just the
D:\Euphoria\webgetter\SHEPHERD.EXW in the Target space, it opens in
Textpad, which i use for editing. I can still edit it by right clicking and
sending
it to Textpad.

Maybe you'd be better off not responding to messages that you havent got a clue
about.
Just an insight!

How about this?
procedure open_display_window()
openWindow(Win2,Normal)
end procedure
onActivate[Win1] = routine_id("open_display_window")

I beleive that would work.... I had looked in my 'book' and onActivate was
not in it. Looking in the Win32Full_lib.ew seems to indicate that is what it
is used for...
thanks..

Interpreted question incorrect, Sorry.
Thought Windows-launching was meant.
Have you received my personal mail, Euman?
