[SOLVED] Switch to not show XY when called from CL

[Marco]

I just found a mildly hackish* way to open files listed by Everything (http://www.voidtools.com) via XYplorer, namely running

Code: Select all

"C:\path\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" /script="::open '%1'" /flg=2

By doing this, XY opens the path contained in %1, reusing the current instance.
This works, except for XY window popping up when the code above is executed.
Would it be possible to add a CL switch so that XY window doesn't take the focus?

*: here's the reason for such apparently convoluted code, http://forum.voidtools.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1643

Not possible I think. It's not me who grabs the focus. WIndows gives it to me without asking.

I see. Do you happen to know if this behaviour happens even when a message is sent to XY via WM_COPYDATA (as described in the Help, page 305)?

Not tested, but I don't think it would happen then.
