    Hello. The visible setting is not working. It still opens and closes the window of realterm.
    Is this just a fast close function? on slower pc's you can really see the window and you lose the cursor-focus when calling it from an other software. Is there a solution to this?

    "Visible option that will completely hide Realterm. Unlike minimising, it disappears from the taskbar. Only the Tray Icon is left."

    https://realterm.sourceforge.io/#Hiding_Controls__Fullscreen

    What version?

    I am not sure what you are trying to do, and what the actual problem is.

    WindowState=min should minimise the window - it will show in task bar, and alt+tab can show it.
    visible=0 removes it from the taskbar and alt+tab, and it should only appear in tray.

    You would want one or the other, not both

    Hello

    I try to make a batch task which is running all 5-10 seconds sending a char and capturing the response in a file. The problem is, that the realterm window is still appearing shortly, which is
    annoying regarding the 5-10 seconds interval.

    Now I'm trying to make it work with a running instance which is started with windows. I then
    give additional coammands via command line with the first/caption parameter. This is, as described, not working when visible=0? When minimized it tends to maximize when receiving it's new commands... I would prefer the solution above. Is it doable?
    Thank you

    So if I understand, your issue is that RT briefly flashes up, before hiding. (This happens every 10 seconds, which is annoying)

    You are probably right - the FIRST parameter passing mechanism sends to a window. Not visible = no window = no message passing.

    The solution is to use the COM interface not the commandline. (This is how visible =0 was being used when it was added)

    With Powershell being "the way of Windows" now, it's probably time to learn how to make a powershell script to do this, instead of batch files. Powershell can (as I understand it) control COM and lots of other good things.

    Do make an SF account if you want to ask more questions, and I would like an example Powershell script, as I havn't used it yet.
