  -View<kind>
  
  
Arguments

<kind> is one of the following:

Default

Application is started with arguments: Minimized.

Application is started without arguments: Window.

Description

Normally, the application is started with a normal window if no arguments are given. If the application is started with arguments (e.g., from the Maker to assemble, compile, or link a file), then the application is running minimized to allow for batch processing. However, the application's window behavior may be specified with the View option.

Using -ViewWindow, the application is visible with its normal window. Using -ViewMin the application is visible iconified (in the task bar). Using -ViewMax, the application is visible maximized (filling the whole screen). Using -ViewHidden, the application processes arguments (e.g., files to be compiled or linked) completely invisible in the background (no window or icon visible in the task bar). However, for example, if you are using the -N: Display notify box assembler option, a dialog box is still possible.

Example

C:\Freescale\prog\linker.exe -ViewHidden fibo.prm
