Is this possible? I would like to create a system where the UI is completely decoupled from the main application. The UI would run in a browser and communication would be done through websockets. I have a basic system running where I can bypass the UI entirely and it works nicely, but I’d rather if the iPlug UI was not visible to the user.

I’m sure this has all been done before. Hopefully someone can point me in the general direction 🙂

Commented out `ShowWindow(hwndDlg, SW_SHOW)` will stop the UI from appearing. That’ll do for now. 👍
