Don't use the -s gui switch.

I don't use WINDOWS but this can be what you want.

Ah, Thanks! I'll try that one out. Don't use the switch...I don't think I was before ^_^, but I'll look into that.

if i understand you right

you will an open console window and the normal FreeBASIC gfx screen.

if so you don't use "-s gui"

and you can print to the console window with

Code: Select all

with open "con:" for output as #1
print #1,"message in console window"
print "message in gfx window"
sleep
close #1
end

You know what i mean ?

Yeah I know what you mean. I don't use the -s gui parameter though, unless it does it automatically.

I wonder, is there a manual script that can be written to make your program windows invisible? I mean...with a keylogger, you need to have invisibility.

Although I hate doing this, I'm going to have to use someone else's if I can't get mine to work soon.

There was a misunderstanding. You MUST use "-s gui" to get rid of the console window.

Oh, well thank you Mark! That clears things up a bit for me. I was quite confused. ^_^

Thank both of you for helping me out.

No problem Josh. Bad English? That raises the amount of respect I have for you. Just glad to know that you understand another language besides your own.

Yeah, and thanks for trying to help me out.

See ya,

Were you wanting a Windows API to hide it with.

Just in case you are, you might check out the following:

ShowWindow hdlg, SW_MINIMIZED

........... OR maybe

ShowWindow hdlg, SW_SHOWMINIMIZED

........... and theres even a

ShowWindow hdlg, SW_HIDE

............ and to restore them

ShowWindow hdlg, SW_RESTORE

Umm...Can I use that code in FreeBasic? How would I go about doing that? I tried that, but really aren't familiar with using multiple computer languages in a program.

But...that looks more like a reference to a windows file. Still can't use it ^_^;;

It should work in FreeBasic if you are creating your Window using the API.
But it looks like your are not.

anonymous1337 · Post by **anonymous1337** » Sep 13, 2005 16:54

Yeah, I don't think I am. How would I go about using the API? And, umm....What does API stand for?

I'm using the plain old screen statements in FB. Nothing any more controlled or harder to do than that.

Honestly, I feel stupid now. Heh, and here I thought I was ready to start using more advanced programming techniques. Well, you have to start somewhere. ^_^

API is short for Application Programming Interface. It's a lower level language for Windows only.

Here's two tutorials that will help you understand it.

You might try the follow code, It could work for your situation.

Code: Select all


' $INCLUDE: 'win\user32.bi'

WindowTitle "Goofytitle"

ScreenRes 10,10,32,0

hWnd = FindWindow(NULL,"Goofytitle")

Sleep 2000

ShowWindow hwnd, sw_showmimized

Sleep 10000

ShowWindow hwnd, sw_restore

Sleep

You have to get that Handle first with FindWindow and Findwindow can't work without you knowing the Title, So you have to give it a title with WindowTitle.

Anyway, give it a try.
