extra - opening dos-window

Post by Dave »

Hello there,

I'm using Textpad 4.6 to edit my Oracle-code.
I just found out that I can use one of the extra's to launch a connection to the oracle database and use the open file automatically to compile it.

This works just fine, except that it annoys me that I cannot find a way to automatically close that dos-window.
Even if I check the option to do so, it remains open.

Anyone has an idea how I can get this done?

Tnx,
Dave Geysemans

Dave,

Have you tried, rather than launching a command processor directly, launching
a shortcut with it's property "close on exit" ticked, Just a thought.

Nigel.

I think that the problem is that the sql-session that is opened to execute the script does not get closed.
The script that I execute contains 'create or replace' for the procedure I want to compile and I cannot add an exit-statement at the end.
My guess is that textpad does not recognize the window as a dos command-window because sqlplus is still open, and therefor does not want to close this window...
