Subject: [DUG]: How do I create a Delphi executable which has no GUI?Hi all
I want to call a Delphi executable by shelling out to DOS from a telnet session (in Universe). Since it's a telnet connection, and character based, it won't handle any Windows GUI. I'm wanting to execute a Report Builder report, which normally has the components dropped on a form.
How do I stop a form displaying period - not even for an instant (when executing)? I wonder if a data module would do it? But then Report Builder design is all graphical, with the components on a form...
If any GUI info is received on the Telnet connection, it then just ignores my exe.
Am I trying to accomplish the impossible? (There are good reasons for wanting to run a report this way - i.e. not having to do a ton of coding to move a legacy app into Delphi).
Cheers
