Run complied exe in silent mode

vkhosla · Post by **vkhosla** » Tue Nov 18, 2003 8:25 pm

I have just downloaded the Pro version of MS. I want to run my compiled exe in silent mode. Is this possible? Is there a command line switch? Your help would be much appreciated.

Hi,

Use -HIDE and -NOSYSTRAY

Does this:

Use -HIDE and -NOSYSTRAY

mean that we can use any macro scheduler command line switch with a compiled script?

Obviously there would be no sense to call a script file or the editor

So I can either make an icon or a batch file and add those paramaters when the compiled file is called up?

If yes, then that means I can now have logging?

And I can also pass in variable parameters?

Yes,

This has always been the case. All (relevent) switches should work. Use /LOGFILE=logfilename with compiled EXEs.

Don't know why I never tried that before! Silly me

That's why I am here very day, always picking up something new.

Thanks for the extra tools.

Taking this a step further... is there any way to create a compiled macro that will run as if /HIDE /NOSYSTRAY switches were used, without having switches in the shortcut. (say we just click on the EXE - no switches possible... but I want it to run 'stealth' by default)

If there's no way to add something from within the macro (because the run-time has already started by that time), could that be an option when compiling?

Compile:
[ ] Hide Window
[ ] No Systray
[ ] Logfile = ________________

Ok, the previous message train just blew past me (confused) but hereÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s what I would like to do:-
I have Macro Scheduler icon in the system tray. There are scripts that call compiled macros. These compiled macro now cause another Macro Scheduler icon to appear in the system tray. How do I prevent a second icon from appearing ?
Thanks

Kris

Add /NOSYSTRAY /HIDE to the command line:

Run>macro.exe /NOSYSTRAY /HIDE
