## 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.
