1964.0. "XICON Question" by HYSTER::DEARBORN (Trouvez Mieux) Wed Dec 07 1988 12:12

    I have been using XICON to execute a simple string of tasks while
    starting up my VT200 emulator.  It works great.
    
    However...is there any way to keep it from opening it's large XICON
    window while the program is running, or to tell it to open a smaller
    window, the way you can when you open a new CLI?
    
    (Please say yes!)

	In the TOOL TYPES gadget in the INFO window, you can specify any type of window you desire. For example, I now run many CLI programs from XICON (actually, it's called ICONX under 1.3) by inserting something like... WINDOW = NEWCON:0/0/640/400/Plingsnort in the tool types line. Ed.

	Also, MODE=nowindow will suppress any window being opened at all.

	Well guys, neither one seems to work. I still get the same window. I am using IconX now, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. The ICON type is a Project. Could that be part of the problem? Randy
1964.4	I don't get it.	HYSTER::DEARBORN	Trouvez Mieux	`Fri Dec 09 1988 18:32`	8
	Figured it out. I had renamed ICONX as XICON. Guess what? When you do that, it will still work, but will ignore the tool types entries. So I renamed it back to ICONX. Now it works. Weird huh? Randy
