Do you know how to do this? Just like Mouse Extend tool works. I tried to play with window.h:


but window shows for a while (during InitPre function I think (just loading engine.pak)) and then disappear.

Can I also create applications using EE without need of engine.pak?

maybe you can minimize on start but i don't think its possible to remove window on start.

engine.pak is needed for loading shaders/gui/info... so Esenthel has to create a standalone console version if u want to get rid of that aswell..

if you don't need graphics directx initilization then you can do your codes in InitPre and enable flag APP_EXIT_IMMEDIATELY

if you need graphics directx initilization then you can call WindowHide(App.hwnd()) inside Init()
which will result in window being created, shown for <1 second, and being hidden immediatelly

Ok, thanks. First way looks interesting but when I make loop which should end after 10 seconds and then turn off app I saw that Time.d() function doesn't work in InitPre. Does it mean that some other functions won't work too? Is there any way to check what key user pressed even when window is hidden? I tried with APP_WORK_IN_BACKGROUND flag but without success.

what kind of app are you trying to develop?

Well to be honest I really don't know what I want to get. Generally I want make some application which works in background (it isn't visible to user on taskbar) but user still can do something with it for example some shortcut will generate some files etc. As I wrote I don't know what exactly it could be but I'm interesting if such application is possible to do with EE without need of external libraries or calling OS functions or something else.
