Running Basic programs from Liberty Basic Workshop
Post by JayCee on Aug 23rd, 2014, 2:53pm

When I run a Liberty Basic program from within the Liberty Basic Workshop the first thing that happens is a Liberty Basic window opens and lists the program and then it runs.

Is there any way to suppress this window opening and for the file to just run?

Not that I'm aware of, but the person to ask would be the author of LB Workshop: Alyce Watson (if you post the question in the LB forum she should see it).

But... would you really want to? Hiding the LB/LBB window would mean that if the program fails to compile you wouldn't know where! During the development phase of a program you should expect there to be syntax errors, so suppressing the very window in which those errors are highlighted sounds like a bad idea to me.

If you know that the program is complete and error-free why run it from LBW at all? Compile it to a EXE and run that. Or make a token file and execute that with the run-time engine, which you can do from LBW (but there's little point doing so when using LBB).

Richard.

Thanks Richard - I know it should be easy but I am still trying to get my head round how all these programs interact.
