Hide/Show Docky

[PEB]

I know that this can be done with the @OPTIONS preprocessor command; but is there a way to allow the user to choose whether or not the docky is displayed at runtime?

[airsoftsoftwair]

No, this needs to be done at program startup when the application is registered through application.library. Runtime support for show/hide docky is very unlikely to come because all this docky stuff was a horrible mess to implement which I'd rather not touch any more

[PEB]

Could it be an option that is triggered through a tooltype? (Just so I don't need to include two separate executables in the archive for users who do or do not want the docky displayed.)

[airsoftsoftwair]

Yes, this should be possible. So you'd like to have the "NoDocky" option available from the tooltypes, right?

[PEB]

Yes, that would be a nice option to have.
Thanks!

[airsoftsoftwair]

Ok, that should be possible to add.

[PEB]

Would it be possible also to have a NoDocky argument that could be used if the executable is started from a console?
(Such an argument would obviously need to be evaluated before the program is loaded.)

[airsoftsoftwair]

Sure, all Hollywood tooltypes are also accessible from the command line. So adding a new tooltype automatically means the tooltype will be available from the command line as well, if that is what you mean?

[PEB]

Yes, that's what I mean.
Thanks so much!
