When I open my standalone the max console also launches even if I use the object [standalone @statusvisible 0] Any idea for the console to not open on the standalone? 

Your help is much appreciated as I'm trying to figure this out for months.

I have a statusvisible 0 message sent to a standalone object. It was working fine for a while, but the console started to be displayed again after I added a "nomenu' to a message sent to a thispatcher object. I removed the nomenu message and the console is still displayed. Yes, the Status Window Visible option for the standalone object is also de-selected. Definitely a bug here.

You guys will not really get help, because You don't mention

This forum is full of threads where things get asked taking it that

everybody else is sitting in front of that computer

You must be talking about windows version of Max.

And it has to be solved with messages to thispatcher for the main patcher.

Loadbang all window size, flags etc. message

Have a look at this screenshot as example.

I use screensize to get fullscreen, instead of fullscreen message.

toggle to inlet allows to switch between editing and "sealed" mode.

either which max version, nor OS.

As on Mac there is no such problem,

After 1000 ms delay send :
window flags nomenu, window exec, front via deferlow to thispatcher.

Sorry about that - Win 10 (latest update) and Max 8.1. I've attached a patcher that exhibits this issue. Build an .exe standalone and observe that the maxwindow opens on launch. The maxwindow does not open if I take out the 'nomenu' message being sent to the thispatcher object.

No problem, it is just allways better to include infos.

I don't use max 8.1 and so can't test that patch.

But for me, what I posted works till max 7.3.5.

I mostly work on Mac, just compile stuff for windows

I prefer not to see menu, titles, status window etc.

Message statusvisible to standalone windows did

window is not part of mxf file, but part of the executable.

loadbanging that message is allway too late

The key is delay of 1000 ms.
You did not include that in the patch.

from time to time.

not work for me,  I think because status
window is not part of mxf file, but part of the executable.

Resurrecting this thread from the dead to say, I was having this issue building a standalone application on my M1 Mac, and by adding:

[loadmess 0] > [pipe 1000] > [attrui "statusvisible] > [standalone]

I was able to stop the Max Console from opening upon the application opening. Thank you, people from the past!!!
