Xavier,
Will this process start a "normal" Rev application faceless or do I
need to prep the Rev application somehow to run without a window?
Can I tell when a user is logged into the computer? I want the Windows
service application to launch a regular Rev windowed application but
only when the user is logged in but not if the user has logged out.
Thanks,
Bill Vlahos

Services are usually faceless applications Derek ;)
In the windows resourcekit there is a programmed named
srvany.exe. Search it in technet.Microsoft.com, you'll
find what you're looking for.
First you compile the application (with a startup handler
to run it)...
Then you set the srvany and link your application to a
service that you create with srvany.
That's it... when the service is started, you app should be
running. It's useful to keep a text log of the operations to
keep track of it's running status too...
I've posted this previously in the list too. If you search
the archives, you should find it...
cheers
Xavier

How do I make a Rev app run this way?
Well, I don't know about running a Rev Standalone as a
service, but you could do the following...
1. Make a Setup program that installs your standalone and
also adds an
entry to the Registry to startup the program during Window's boot.
2. Set the decorations to empty. I know this removes the
titleBar and
window border, but it also removes the taskbar button. This way you
could either hide the window (if it's a background service)
or keep the
window open but it can't be hidden.
This should work just fine. Hope this helps. Oh, a great free setup
program builder is called InnoSetup. Most major companies
use it, and
it's very expandable. Oh, it's free...can't beat that!
