Bartokv Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 The Run function may be used to launch an application: Run("C:\MyStuff\SomeFile.exe")The Winshow function may be used to show/hide existing windows:WinShow("Untitled - Notepad", "", @SW_MINIMIZE)The Help file covers additional options which may be used for both of these functions.

Guest VanDike Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 What to do if @SW_MAXIMIZE does not maximize the window in this script? RunWait ("explorer http://www.hotmail.com","", @SW_MAXIMIZE) IE always opens in Window mode... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberSlug Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 What to do if @SW_MAXIMIZE does not maximize the window in this script?....IE always opens in Window mode...<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Explorer launches the window Internet Explorer. You need to @SW_MAXIMIZE the Internet Explorer window not "explorer." Just call IE directly:RunWait(@ProgramFilesDir & "\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe " & "http://www.hotmail.com","", @SW_MAXIMIZE) Use Mozilla | Take a look at My Disorganized AutoIt stuff | Very very old: AutoBuilder 11 Jan 2005 prototype I need to update my sig!
