command line option '-HIDDEN' is not working in the API about robodk-api HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi francoislauzon,
Thank you for your feedback.
Instead of:
RoboDK_API::RoboDK *rdk_=new RoboDK_API::RoboDK("",kRoboDKPragmaPort,"/NOSPLASH /HIDDEN");
You can use:
RoboDK_API::RoboDK *rdk_=new RoboDK_API::RoboDK("",kRoboDKPragmaPort,"/NOSPLASH -NOUI");

Let me know how it goes.

from robodk-api.

If I use the '-NOUI' argument, when I later show RoboDK using the API the mainwindow is empty.

What I am trying to acheive is to start RoboDK using the API and then integrate it as a widget... If you modify the Cpp-sample with the following mainwindow constructor you will be able to reproduce what I want (except there is the visual glitch at startup that I am trying to avoid):

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{

    robodk_window = NULL;
    ui->setupUi(this);
    ui->widgetRoboDK->hide();
    adjustSize();



    // Start RoboDK API here (RoboDK will start if it is not running)
    ROBOT = NULL;
    RDK = new RoboDK("",-1,"/NOSPLASH /HIDDEN");

    if (!RDK->Connected()){
        qDebug() << "Failed to start RoboDK API!!";
    }
    // I have to hide RDK because '/HIDDEN' doesn't work
    RDK->HideRoboDK();

    // add a little delay, otherwise the integration will fail
    QThread::msleep(500);
    on_radIntegrateRoboDK_clicked();
}

The only thing I am trying to avoid using the '/HIDDEN' flag is the initial showing/hidding of RoboDK as a Top Level Window before it get integrated in the Cpp-Sample, any other ideas?

Thanks,
Francois.

Hi Francois,
Thank you for bringing this up. We did find a bug which will be fixed in RoboDK's next update. The next update should be in a week or so.

Do let us know if you run into any other issues.

Hello,
I have upgraded to the latest version of RoboDK yesterday.
The /HIDDEN flag is now working.
But if I run the example as I described it previously, RoboDK start in fullscreen and is not integrated in the Example application.
How can I start RoboDK as an integrated Qt Window at startup, is it possible?

Best regards,
François.

Hi François,
I'm not sure if it possible to retrieve the ID of the main window before starting RoboDK. You may need to use a Windows API.
