Re: [amibroker] Amibroker as a COM object

["Tomasz Janeczko" <amibroker@xxxxxx>]

Hello,

By default all COM/OLE objects in Windows are created (if not already running)
in "invisible" state (i.e. with main window hidden).
I will add ability to show the GUI in next beta.

If AmiBroker is already running, then if you call CreateObject it will attach to already running instance.


Best regards,
