Just started using ServerLoader and works except...

[lextalionis]

Hey gang,

I just started using ServerLoader for srcds.exe (CS-S deticated server) and a .dat to html converter script .exe for uploading stats to my webserver. The proggy works great; however, I can seem to config the ini file to hide the proggy dialog windows...I want srcds.exe and my script to run behind the scenes w/o having to be manually minizized. I've used every config i.e. hide etc.

Also, is there a way to make the app load the antivirus or the steam client where it's minimized on the bottom right?

Thanks,
Lex

See the other thread for a reply on this issue.

You should check to see if the app you want minimized has its own config setting for it.

botmeister, if you're interested I have a bit of Win32 API source code to make any app minimize in the systray. PM me if you want more info.

Baty,

An option for minimization in SysTray would be supreme!

Thanks,
Lex

"minimizing" to the system tray is just running in background typically then theres also running in the background where its not registered in systray. Personally I dont know much how to do this other than coding with VB.

What you need to do is get the program to close its main window yet keep running and be registered in system tray.

I dont know if you can force a program to register though or kill its main window and continue running whithout modifying the program itself, but i'm not the one saying it cant be done... since botmeiser has done alot so far.

At least for the windows API call I'm using (ShowWindow), it appears that some apps ignore the command to minimize. However you would think that there is a window API call that works no matter what app is running since I can minimize any app with a mouse click.
