Application Behind the Scenes
08/08/2005 @ 14:30 by Watts
I am trying to run an application I developed from another application I have developed. I don't wont the one I am trying to run from the other application to have an icon or be available to run from the user. It should only be able to be launched from my application. How can I generate an application that doesn't have an icon? I want it to be behind the scenes.

Use FileZ to set the Hidden attribute to the program after it was compiled. That should be enough.
Then to make sure it can only be launched from your application, pass a parameter to the RUN command from the calling application, received by the RUN$ function in this receiving application. According to the passed parameter, exit or keep going...

Do you mean I need to rename the application to FileZ after it is compiled?

No need to rename it, but after it is compiled you need to set the hidden flag for this application. This is done using the FileZ application (http://www.nosleep.net). This is not needed for you on your developing device, but it will be needed for the final release version.
