Brilliant. That does the trick nicely.
However there is a glitch. Running this script:
if (!IsRunning('GKON')) { LaunchApps('GKON')}
Hide('GKON');
If 'GraphicConverter' is not running, then it is launched but the
'Hide' event fails:
fals, GKON,
$app = GraphicConverter
core\setd{'----':obj {form:prop, want:type(prop), seld:type(pvis),
from:obj {form:name, want:type(pcap), seld:"GraphicConverter",
from:'null'()}},
data:fals, &inte:cans, &timo:3600}
aevt\ansr{errn:-1728,
erob:obj {want:type(pcap), from:'null'(), form:name, seld:"GraphicConverter"}}
If the script is re-run (i.e. GraphicConverter still running) the
'Hide' event works fine. The event seems identical in both cases.
fals, GKON,
$app = GraphicConverter
core\setd{'----':obj {form:prop, want:type(prop), seld:type(pvis),
from:obj {form:name, want:type(pcap), seld:"GraphicConverter",
from:'null'()}},
data:fals, &inte:cans, &timo:3600}
aevt\ansr{}
The odd thing is that in the first case (failure) the loop in "sub
_showhide" (which gets the name from the process number) works
properly returning the string "GraphicConverter". So GraphicConverter
can be 'seen'. But the event nevertheless fails with error 1728 --
'AENoSuchObject'. Why should that be?
Any ideas?
