hide autocad session

currently finalizing VB5 application that be will compiled for distribution.

application uses:
Set myAcad = CreateObject("AutoCAD.Application")
to establish autocad2002 session so application can manipulate titleblocks in .dwg's that user selects.

question: is there a way to suppress seeing the autocad session when "Set myAcad = CreateObject("AutoCAD.Application")" executes?

yes, have set "AcadApplication.Visible = False" but that of course does not suppress seeing autocad session when launched.

Use OjectDBX. It has no GUI so as well as the user not being able to see it,
it is much quicker.

does not suppress seeing autocad session when launched.

 

Dave:
have used ObjectDBX, the one that ships w/acad2002, and it requires acad session running. have seen that requirement elsewhere in this forum and practical experiment proved it out.

and that darn acad session running "flashes" on screen just like CreateObject.

do you knowof another ObjectDBX to use other than licensed from autodesk?

I haven't seen the flashing on screen behaviour and I didn't need an AutoCAD
session running, though I think it needs an AutoCAD installed. I don't know
of any others, but that doesn't mean there aren't any.
