    Hi all We have an application developed in VC++ which configures a server . It runs in Windows XP . This application is used by a testing tool to automatic testing . Thats , the user interface will be fed with values and configuration will be happening . Is there any way to make this application run in the background without affecting the testing tool when it modifies the UI values ? I am sure we can make the process run in the background when there is not user interface activity . But keeping UI active for the test tool and making it invisible is something new for me . Any ideas please ...

      Are you looking for a windows service and IPC? Then your UI can interact with the windows service which will be running in the background. You can simply hide the dialog if UI is inactive (something like a office scan client) which continues it's work in the background when UI is minimized.

      Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them. ;-)_AnShUmAn_

        No i don't think it will be possible because Testing tools i have seen need your UI to be active. And moreover tools require mouse and keyboard control to automate the testing scripts.

        Regards, Sandip.
