[roadrunner]

i.e

display text box

run program

close text box

i have tried SplashTextOn but i will not keep on the screen

any idears?

Sounds like you are running an external program maybe?

if so then use:

SplashTextOn("Title", "Message goes here.", -1, -1, -1, -1, 4, "", 24)
runwait("yourprogram.exe")

or test out this if not.

I like small displays

ToolTip("Hey My program is running", 0, 0)
for $i=1 to 10
sleep(1000)
next
; or anything else you want to do.

if you runwait, the script will keep it displayed until the program exits, ot you can use a while statement.

I can keep ToolTip on top of even DirectX programs.

after i put splashtexton into the scripe,

winwait active(homeworld2 v1.1")

does not become active so the send("{enter}) command does not work.

The splashtexton has got focus and will not realease it.

any more idears?

SplashTextOn("Title", "system update.", -1, -1, -1, -1, 4, "", 24)

runwait ($drive &"\update_en_10_11.exe")

;sleep(5000)

progress()

WinWaitActive("Homeworld2 v1.1")

Send("{ENTER}")

progress()

WinWaitActive("Homeworld2 Patch 1.0 to 1.1")

Send("!n")

WinWaitActive("Homeworld2 Patch 1.0 to 1.1")

Send("!n")

WinWaitActive("Homeworld2 Patch 1.0 to 1.1")

Send("!n")

WinWaitActive("Homeworld2 Patch 1.0 to 1.1")

Send("!n")

progress()

WinWaitclose("Homeworld2 v1.1")

SplashOff()

Maybe something like this?

Winactivate("Homeworld")
ToolTip ( "system update",0,0 )
RunWait ($drive &"\update_en_10_11.exe")
WinWaitActive("Homeworld2 v1.1")
Send("{ENTER}")
For $i=1 To 4
ToolTip ( "system update step "&$i+1,0,0 )
WinWaitActive("Homeworld2 Patch 1.0 to 1.1")
Send("!n")
sleep(500)
Next
WinWaitClose("Homeworld2 v1.1")

Just a general tip I keep rediscovering .. the Control* functions (eg: ControlSend, ControlSetText, ControlCommand etc .. ) don't need the window to have focus
