Opening The Bat! from within PopTray, Something was changed in the lastest release that screws this up

Hello,

I am currently using PopTray 3.2 (www.poptray.org) and have configured it to use the following command line to start up The Bat! from within that program:

D:\Program Files\The Bat!\thebat.exe /nologo

I am presently using the X-mas release (3.95.6) and my problem is as follows:

When I was still using the previous version of TB, PopTray would always start the program AND open its window, even if TB were minimized to the system tray. With the latest version, however, if TB is already running and minimized to the system tray, the window does not open when I click the 'Run E-mail Client' button.

This is highly annoying behaviour and I wondered if it would it be possible to get the program to behave the way it did before the X-mas release.

(Note that I have not changed the version of Poptray I am using; I only upgraded The Bat!)

Best,

Edo

try

"D:\Program Files\The Bat!\thebat.exe" /NOLOGO /FOCUSU="Account_name";F="Inbox"

For details about /FOCUS see help

Thanks for your reply, bigg one, but I had already tried using /FOCUS and that does not solve the problem.

Cheers,

Edo

strange. It works for me, but I still use the previous version 3.85.03 as here too many problems were reported about 3.9xx

Then maybe try to paste the text below in notepad, save the file in TB dir or somewhere else with a .vbs extension, and then in the other app change the command that starts TB to point to the .vbs file

'---------------
Dim sh
Set sh = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
sh.run Chr(34) & "C:\Program Files\The Bat!\thebat.exe" & Chr(34) & " /NOLOGO", vbnormalfocus
Set sh = Nothing
