Hi Pritpal,
Sure. I do not have time neither a will to change the way
I am been working all those years just to change something
which is working harmless.
For me it took 2 minutes to try both methods on
my application.
Moreover, just today I've spent several hours trying
to fix and document warnings and bugs in hbwhat32 only.
I don't even use it, or plan to use it in the future,
just want a clean build.
I'd suggest to step over stirct personal needs when
it comes to developing Harbour.
If you link in gtgui.lib, and choose it either with
//gtgui, or by ANNOUNCE-ing HB_GT_GUI_DEFAULT in your
code, you'll get an application with no window at all,
not even visible in <Alt+Tab>, but the .exe is still
running fine. This seems to be the exact same effect
as HB_NOSTARTUPWINDOW, but done the "official" way,
without additional hacks.
HB_NOSTARTUPWINDOW simulates exactly the same what you described.
I do not find any point to grasp difference in "official" and "hack"
terminology, especially in this regard. Do it harm any of the Harbour
distribution ?
I'm trying to leave unnecessary options and hacks out of
Harbour, because all these just raise questions and
create problems with no gain. There is not much point
in maintaining one good and one bad solution in parallel,
as the resources are scarce.
Brgds,
Viktor
