Help! API: Trying toforce SW to Run Minimized

Nov 26, 2004 1 Replies

Hi,



I have created several .exe's that open Sw parts, insert a design a table save and close. The exe inserts the Dt's into all pertinent parts and assys and at the end of it all I get various configuration with various options which I entered at the beginning of the process. On some service pack for



2004 I lost the ability to minimize SW while the exe was running and hence the ability to do something else while the model was being generated. Some models take 10-15 minutes to build so its a substantial nuisance.

I am wondering is there is any sort of method or command I can put into my .exe that will tell the SW application to run minimized?



Any help is truly appreciated.
