For this you just need to created a launcher (a standalone or a files launcher) with a .BAT file as application. Once the launcher is created you have to go into "Edit Launcher", "Advanced Modifications" and set the "Toggle XBMC Fullscreen" to "Off". Also take care that the "show batch command window" is not activated into the "Debug" section of Advanced Launcher settings.(2012-06-22, 14:31)Angelscry Wrote:(2012-06-22, 07:24)kiboy6 Wrote: Hi - first of all thanks for this great addon.I will try to take a look this week-end, but I'm not sure it will possible.
I have one quick question - is there any way to make Advance Launcher keep focus on XBMC throughought?
I want to use Advanced Launcher to launch a shortcut that runs a bat file in a hidden window. However it seems that even using hstart and running the shortcut minimised, XBMC will lose focus for a moment, go windowed, and then return to the foreground. Is there any way to prevent this behaviour?
Thanks
Many thanks - if there's anything you could do to keep XBMC seamlessly on top and the launched program behind it that would be amazing!
Then after, if you do not want XBMC to loose the focus, you must take care to not start application that will take it. And it's here that it becomes more complicated. Because, under Windows, once you start an application with a new windows... it take the focus. I don't think it will be possible to bypass this from Advanced Launcher or XBMC, because it is a Windows related problem.
There is a large discussion about application stealing focus under Windows 7 here : http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windo...9cd?page=3
