3.1 Standard activation and deactivation

Call M-x ecb-activate and M-x ecb-deactivate to activate or deactivate ECB. If you want ECB started in a new frame see the option ecb-new-ecb-frame (default is nil). ecb-activate always raises and selects the ECB-frame even if ECB is already started.

Because ECB is a global minor-mode it can also be (de)activated/toggled by M-x ecb-minor-mode.

3.2 Automatic activation and deactivation

There are three options for auto. (de)activation ECB after Emacs-start and also major-mode based.

ecb-auto-activate
This option is for auto. activating ECB after Emacs-startup. Set this to not nil and ECB will automaticaly be started after Emacs comes up.

ecb-major-modes-activate
ecb-major-modes-deactivate
These option give you the possibility to activate (rsp. deactivate) ECB on a major-mode basis, means you can define for which major-modes ECB should be activated and for which modes it should activated.

If activating or deactivating is too strong you can also customize ECB with these two option only hiding/showing it's ECB-windows (tree-buffers) on a major-mode basis. At last this is nothing more than auto. calling ecb-toggle-ecb-windows (see section 4.10 Interactive ECB commands depending which major-mode is active.
