Hi all !
Nice new website by the way.
I’m trying to spawn a background juce process from a main juce app.
Basically, everything works, I got the IPC right and stuff.
The only thing is that I would like my child process not to have a window at all. No matter what I do, it always create a default window.
Under windows, I tryied using SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS (SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE always creates a console window).
By digging into juce code, I found that
bool Process::openDocument (const String& fileName, const String& parameters)
{
HINSTANCE hInstance = 0;
JUCE_TRY
{
hInstance = ShellExecute (0, 0, fileName.toWideCharPointer(),
parameters.toWideCharPointer(), 0, SW_SHOWDEFAULT);
}
JUCE_CATCH_ALL
return hInstance > (HINSTANCE) 32;
}
I tried most of the valid values for ‘SW_SHOWDEFAULT’ but it doesn’t change anything.
Is it possible at all with juce ? What do I do wrong ? Normally SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS doesn’t create any window by default but let’s the user do it. Any hint would be welcome
