The issue
If the console is closed then it is no longer possible to show the edit window in NMAPI
Quick recap
Project is on the latest BTO laptop under C:\VTube\Software\VTube_NMAPI\VTube_NMAPI.sln.
The issues in CTrack regarding console hiding / showing date from 20/6/25 to 25/6/25.
Finally it was accepted that showing/hiding a console was only possible by restarting.
Functions to check out
- ProcessStart : sets StartUpInfo flags, the only way a console window should be visible or not
The VTube NMAPI server program does actually not support any commands that allow to show/hide its console window, so nothing i can change there.
The client example that is in the same solution does not start up the server, for testing it is assumed that Visual Studio will be the one starting the 2 processes, so there also nothing to do.
Testing is limited because you need to connect before you can issue the Show settings dialog command, which is not possible without hardware.
So basically there is nothing I can do from my side, except communicate back that showing hiding the console should be something that can only be done by the starting process.
