StartMode

Returns an Integer indicating how the application was started. Read-only.

Syntax: object.StartMode

object
required An object expression that evaluates to an _App object. In practice this is the global App object.

In VB6, StartMode returns 0 (vbSModeStandalone) when the application was launched as a standalone executable, or 1 (vbSModeAutomation) when it was started as an ActiveX Automation server by an external client. Code in ActiveX DLL or EXE projects uses this value to determine whether a visible user interface should be shown.

Note

StartMode is not yet implemented in twinBASIC. Reading the property always returns 0.
