Description

The application starts as a normal window if no arguments are given. If the application is started with arguments (e.g., from the maker to compile or link a file), then the application runs minimized to allow batch processing.

You can specify the behavior of the application using this 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, if you are using the -N: Show Notification Box in Case of Errors option, a dialog box is still possible.

Example

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