SmartDashboard Startup
Two SmartDashboard questions:
1) When I start the FRC Driver Station, the SmartDashboard automatically starts up without window decoration (titlebar, close button, etc). Can I change this behavior to include the window decoration? I believe it's starting up from Program Files/FRC Dashboard/Dashboard.exe. Double clicking on the SmartDashboard jar file includes the decorations and works fine. 2) What is triggering the SmartDashboard to start up with the FRC Driver Station? |

Re: SmartDashboard Startup
Figured out question #2...
In the file 'Documents\FRC\FRC DS Data Storage.ini' there is an entry DashboardCmdLine = ""C:\\Program Files (x86)\\FRC Dashboard\\Dashboard.exe"" You can change this to use the NIDashboard or the SmartDashboard (Dashboard.exe). |

Re: SmartDashboard Startup
Figured out question #1...
In the file 'C:\Program Files\FRC Dashboard\Launcher.bat' there is a statement that launches the SmartDashboard executable jar file: cd "C:\Program Files\SmartDashboard" java -jar SmartDashboard.jar competition Remove 'competition' and the window decorations will show up. This was a bit twisted because I have a 64-bit machine and the files are stored in several places. So here are the steps as far as I can tell: 1) run FRC Driver Station 2) it loads 'Documents\FRC\FRC DS Data Storage.ini' 3) which has a property called DashboardCmdLine to tell it what dashboard exe to run 4) if you have installed SmartDashboard it will be set to 'Program Files/FRC Dashboard/Dashboard.exe' 5) which calls 'Launcher.bat' to light off the SmartDashboard. |
