keeping NXOGRE running while minimized

I'm trying to add networking to my game and i need two instances of my app running at once so i can test networking through the echo port. How exactly would I keep ogre from holding rendering when its not the active window?

I don't know about Ogre, but you could set world to not use it's own frameListener, and manually operate simulate and render in your own loop.

You should post this to the Ogre forum. I also don't see why Ogre would stop rendering if its not active. I believe startRendering is just an infinite loop that pumps the message pump and renders frames.

i did and others seem to want to do the same thing:

I really thing that there should be a method to enable/diable inactive rendering.

Ogre still does this , but I have a solution, see your original thread.
