Is there a way to minimize ProComm without minimizing the dialogbox. 1

[areotree]

Is there a mode or way to minimize the main ProComm window and still keep a dialogbox visible ? I am using a dialogbox as a monitor GUI that is continually being updated and would like to minimize the main window.

Thanks.

Unfortunately this cannot be done to the best of my knowledge.

Hey Knob,

I found a way to hide the main window and leave the dialogbox visible using "winhide $PWMAINWIN" and a "when" statement that does a "winshow $PWMAINWIN" when the dialogbox is closed. Thought you might be interested.


Thanks for all the great post, You have provide me with a ton of info.

Would you mind posting a quick example when you get a chance? Nice workaround!

I have posted the full "RNC MONITOR" script in another thread. Below is what I did, luckly the dlgupdate doesn't trigger the when statement. If you could look at the whole script and give me some pointers on what to do better or different. The script runs great but I know it could be better.

Thanks.

proc main
rncts[1] = " Retrieving Data"
rncts[2] = " !!! Please Wait !!!"
set terminal scroll on
set terminal sbpages 1300
set capture recordmode raw
set capture query on
