RE: DOS emulation window issue

From: mark.e.sale@gsk.com Subject: RE: [NMusers] DOS emulation window issue Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2005 09:06:04 -0500 I suspect that if you "selected" text in the open DOS window that NONMEM would stop when it tried to write to the window, but I'm not sure. I assume that Splus uses the standard windows API calls to create this window (createprocessbynum) which I think will hang. If you use the low level API calls, you can set an option about whether the DOS windows is visible while running. If you're just doing bootstraps, I assume you have little interest in following every iteration, so hiding the window will avoid it hanging (for this reason at least). I don't know if this is available in Splus, it is available in Windows API (which are easy to call from, for example Excel macros or Visual Studio). I'm happy to share the code for this (in Excel macro language VBA). Mark Sale M.D. Global Director, Research Modeling and Simulation GlaxoSmithKline 919-483-1808 Mobile 919-522-6668
