Hello,
I have 1 application running with the 'Display Main Title Bar' De-Selected, so that it prevents anyone shutting down the application inadvertantly.
What I want to be able to do, is to minimise the application via a Security enabled PB.
The reason for this, as I now have remote access to this site, with TightVNC, but I cannot access the windows taskbar or standard function keys etc.
I have searched for ways to do this with VB, but am coming up a bit short just now.
Does anyone have a way of doing this?
Full Version: Minimising Application?
Hi ya,
Cause and effect I think!
If you leave the Title bar on, then you can minimise it from VNC. But to stop users shutting down set the "User Exit Access Level" (under Project menu->Runtime Security->Exit Level). You can also hide from the popup menu if you want but not necessary (Project->Runtime Security->Menu Option Access Levels).
Users can then log in manually if required to shutdown, or the system can log in automatically with a dummy User using the Login() script command e.g. on special pushbutton or condition or time etc.
regards,
Bertie

Open notepad and paste the following lines:
Save the file as MyFileName.bat in e.g. c:\
Now in CXS, you can run a script on your security enabled PB.
Paste the following line in the script:
Dirty but it works
I use it all the time to run external applications like convert, IP scanner, open pdf documents, etc.
CODE
@echo off
start %windir%\explorer.exe
start %windir%\explorer.exe
Save the file as MyFileName.bat in e.g. c:\
Now in CXS, you can run a script on your security enabled PB.
Paste the following line in the script:
CODE
Message("This will open Explorer.")
RunApplication("C:\MyFileName.bat")
RunApplication("C:\MyFileName.bat")
