Screen Flashing running command line Apps

Post by kpassaur » Fri Dec 14, 2007 9:35 pm

I have a script that calls other compiled macros, and command line applications. I have been using

Let>RP_Wait=1
Let>RP_WINDOWMODE=0

Before using Run Program>

However, the screen flashes when it runs, any ideas on how to stop this?

It makes it almost imposible to do anything else when the script is running.

Screen Flashing

Post by kpassaur » Sat Dec 15, 2007 9:21 pm

Yes, everytime it loads and runs the script. These are compiled scripts that call other compiled scrips "a monitoring function" and I have been using the window mode=0 before the script is run and when compiled I have used /HIDE /NOSYSTRAY

Instead of using the "Run Program>" application name.exe" I have also tried it with Run Program> cmd /c application name.exe as well, with the same results. The screen flashes "whole screen" when it is run like it is trying to open a window only to find that it is not supposed to, sometimes I can actually see an icon flashing on the taskbar, even though the compiled scripts were to be run hidden.
