Create hidden window?
Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Create hidden window?

| Hi all. I'm working on my app, and everything was going smooth. But I need some way to hide my 3D app completely before it starts up, so it can finish loading GUI modules onto the screen. How can I hide the window RIGHT when F5 is pressed so the window does NOT flash and still is active, but running in the background? Thank You! P.S. I already tried api_ShowWindow(hWnd, 0), but that doesn't stop the flashing. |

| There was some Exe patching code, so the compiled Exe would start hidden, many years ago, might be still in the forum. Edit 2: Here's something, may help you to patch your compiled code (not the blitz3d. exe), see the code sample by filax, you may have to extract the nitty gritty stuff, anyhow: http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=62330#697857 |

| Hi, JFK. Thanks for the help. I tried that, but for some reason, the patcher makes my EXE corrupt... :( |

| Hi, JFK. Thanks for the help. I tried that, but for some reason, the patcher makes my EXE corrupt... :( It's possible that some of the offsets in the binaries changed with one of the recent B3D updates... Anyway, there's been several of this fixers around -- did you try this one? http://www.blitzforum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24932&highlight=startupfix |
