CITECTScada Runtime

[whitenight 0]

I have CITECT runtime set to startup upon windows boot up, does anyone know how to make the runtime screen automatically minimize or otherwise disappear from view but at the same time still be running?

Try this: Start menu>Programs>Startup> Right click on Citect Runtime shortcut > Properties

Hello 'whitenight', You probably already found a solution to hide or minimize a window. In case it's helpful, here's how we control window display/size on startup (can be adapted for use at other times as well): 1 - Write a function similar to this: FUNCTION Startup() WinMode(0); !Hide main Citect window END Notes: a) In Cicode Editor you can right-click WinMode and chose Help to see other options if completely hiding the window is not what you want. b) You can use this functionality on non-Citect windows using WndFind and WndShow (instead of WinMode) 2 - Run Citect Explorer->Tools->Computer Setup Wizard... and go to the Startup Functions Setup screen. 3 - Select "Client" if running multi-process or "Client and Servers" if running single mixed process and click Modify. 4 - Enter "Startup()" (or whatever you named the function in Step 1), click OK, and finish the Computer Setup Wizard. Next time you run your project, the main Citect window should dissappear from screen. If you prefer to just minimize it, change the number in WinMode(#) to 2. Hope this helps! Walter
