AmphetaMarinE Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Hi Guys, I am writing a console based app, and was wondering if there is any way using autoit, that I could check if the script has been run from the command line, or is being double clicked on in explorer? Cheers, Amph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you run it from a console, you'll notice it returns to the command prompt immediately and your app runs in its own window. Just like running other windowed apps from the command line doesn't make then console apps either (i.e. Notepad, Firefox, etc.).Apps that are compile to be console apps (i.e. the FTP and Telnet clients that ship with Windows) show what that would be like, but AutoIt just doesn't do that (...yet).

I understand that, but it is a relatively simple thing to modify that byte in the header and turn it into a console app...Regardless, thanks for your help guys.
