Hi guys,
I try to start itself again with this code, but it doesn't work:
IF GetEnvironmentVariable('LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR') <> '0' THEN begin
mProc := TProcess.Create(NIL);
mProc.CommandLine := GetExeName;
mProc.Environment.Add('LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0');
mProc.Environment.Add('UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=');
mProc.Options := mProc.Options + [poNoConsole];
mProc.Execute;
mProc.Free;
halt; //close itself
END;
What's wrong with this code?
Tnx, f.
