B4J Question Main form mandatory ?

[CR95]

I am copying a B4J program towards a B4X Pages "technology" in order to benefit from the ability to run it under different OS.

Is it a good idea knowing that this application is a SERVER which does not use any UI ?

If yes, how could I remove the display of the main form ?
I suppressed the line containing
MainForm.Show
in AppStart in the main module (and also in the B4X-Page Created subroutine in the B4X Main Page)
but the main form still appears when starting the program.

You should create a Console (non-ui) app or Server app

Thanks Manfred
I discover this feature (Console)
But in this case, I loose the strength of B4X PAGES which allows to generate application for different O.S (if my understanding is good) ?
At this time, I do not know what will be the OS of my server

You misunderstood. B4XPages shouldn't be used if you are building a non-ui app. Your app will run on Mac, Linux and Windows.
