Title: Automation - MC9 not visible
Post by: mjcumming on February 02, 2004, 08:12:21 pm

I have been using MCIO but am looking at doing this with the new automation interface.  When you start MC9 this way, MC9 is not visible if the user clicks on other windows and is not visible in the task bar.  This makes it hard to target using girder.  Is there a way to change this behaviour?

A call to ShowProgram in the MJAutomation object that you create will show the MC window.
Pass ShowProgram 1 to show the window or 0 to hide it.

Scott.

I know about showprogram.  The problem is that MC9 is not visible on the task bar and therefore if another window is opened on top of mc9, it is difficult to get it back...  It still seems to me that MCIO is a better solution.

Erm, yeah, I just noticed that with MC10 actually!

Very weird.
The only way I could it to work properly was to exit MC and then restart it as normal.

Must be a bug, surely?

We can reproduce the problem. We will see what we can do to fix it. Please stay tuned.

The bug will be fixed in the next build of MC 10 (build 74). Fix for MC 9 will have to wait until next release of MC 9.
