File, Run Application problem (OpenInsight Specific)

If you run an application from the App Manager, the application startup screen loses focus, and sits behind any other screens you have active.
The cursor is there, but it does not have focus.
This is really annoying when testing things, as you think it has not started and they you have to minimise all the other screens to find it.
Is there any way around this, eg a parameter or switch etc.

Not to sure if I understand your question but you can close your startup screen by issuing the following from the CREATE event of the next screen called, such as an MDI frame
RetVal=Send_Event(winname, "CLOSE")
rather than having the Startup/Splash screen always open. Or you can hide the engine and oinsight objects entirely if that is what you mean.

You might want to try and make the window invisible, since closing the start up window should close the application.

Colin,
I've had this problem on a couple of apps especially the ones that hide OI and OE.
One way round was to post an OMNIEVENT in the form's CREATE event which called the windows API SetActiveWindow() function to bring the form to the top. This way it lets all the other processing get done before it appears…

Hi Aaron

What makes you say this ? We always close the startup/login screen from our MDI frame's Create event. The MDI frame is called after the startup screen. The application doesn't stop even when running in testrun mode.
