WinXP SP3 (WindowsUpdate done)

Hello,
I need to start an application "minimized". I see it is possible to "maximized", but not "minimized".
My workaround is to click on minimize button. Is there another way?
Thanks for you help.

Re: Run Application minimized
Hi,
There is no such functionality because we thought there is no need for it.
Why do you need to minimize your application, what is the sense of it?

Re: Run Application minimized
Good question: my application under test is communicating and interacting with other applications and hardware systems. To start my test, I need to also start the "test environnement" in minimized mode.Support Team wrote:Why do you need to minimize your application, what is the sense of it?
It is a little bit like http://www.ranorex.com/forum/how-to-run ... t2520.html. Multi-Monitor and size managment will be an helpful improvement for a future release

Best regards

Re: Run Application minimized
Hi,
You can use this CodeModule to run your application in minimized mode.
There are two variables which you can/have to set, the "Application" variable, the path to your exe (i.e. iexplore.exe) and the "Argument" variable for additional arguments (i.e. http://www.google.at).
You can bind them to global parameters.
