Console-Runtime

[Pharanygitis]

I have a little question. Is this possible - create a console-application (runtime export) with mmf2 ? that was very great to create own server (lacewing) with mmf.

You could use the Console object.

[Pharanygitis]

No, i mean - i create a runtime exe file (console). when I start, i have only the console, not the mmf-window.

[James]

Well, check "Hidden at start" in your application properties so it doesn't create a window, and then create a console with the Console object?

[Fimbul]

And if you have MMF2Dev, you can check "No display surface"
to speed things up

[LB]

If it's hidden at start then the window won't even be drawn, so checking no display surface really won't have any effect ;P

Yo, I think what he means is that when you type your application in command prompt, for example:

C:\Users\Username> Documents\MyApp.exe

it will run in command prompt instead of opening a new window.

Yeah that is what Pharanygitis means i think.

I am not sure if the Console object allows that but i might be wrong. I needed exactly the same thing a while back but in the end i just used C++ to make a console app.

Also if you use Hidden at start does that then ignore creating the window or does the window exist still but it's just hidden? i will have to test that feature i think as it could be quite useful.
