Is it possible or how can I make it ?
Quote from dglojnar on January 19, 2021, 7:30 pmAs title say, is it possible to create/compile an invisible app ?
No tray app, just invisible, like some command line apps - you can execute 'em but there's no GUI, menus, windows etc...
Is there any plug-in for that or I can do this using just Neobook/VisualNEO ?
Normally, I don't think about this things, but I have one interesting project and invisible app is MUST...:-)
So, any help will be more then welcome :-)
Cheers!

NeoBook or VisualNeo limits your window size to 25x25 but setting the [WindowHeight] and [WindowWidth] global variables to 0 (zero) you can make your publication, for all practical purposes, invisible on the screen. Next, with the use of the zmFunctions plugin you can hide the tray icon using zmShowIcon "False".
This doesn't however make your program entirely "invisible". This doesn't work with system tray icons and your program still shows up in the Task Manager. When running the program, you will momentarily see an icon on the task bar as the program loads and executes the startup action to change the window size.
When run, simply read the [CommandLine] variable.

It's actually OK for me, and yes, I want to see my app in Task manager:-)
Once again, thanks for help, I appreciate:-)
