Modifying Notepad

[Ace08]

hi guys another thing i have this code

$OpenPad = "Notepad.exe " & $RepPath
Run($OpenPad)
WinActivate($RepFile & " - Notepad", "")
WinMove($RepFile & " - Notepad", "", 300, 0, 450, 740,1)

i was able to open the file with notepad

but it keeps poping behind any opened applications(in this case behind notepad++ since im just using a text editor to create this) also i can't resize the notepad using winmove, any comments?

Note:

$RepPath = "c:\Autoit\Test\RepFile.Rep"

$RepFile = "RepFile.Rep"

got this one, i just added WinWait ($RepFile, "")before winactivate

I have tried like this and winmove works !

$RepPath = "[color=#1C2837][font=arial, verdana, tahoma, sans-serif][size=2]c:\Autoit\Test\RepFile.Rep[/size][/font][/color]"
$RepFile = "RepFile.Rep"

$OpenPad = "Notepad.exe " & $RepPath
Run($OpenPad)
WinWait ($RepFile, "")
WinActivate($RepFile & " - Notepad", "")
WinMove($RepFile & " - Notepad", "", 300, 0, 450, 740,1)

This may give you some clues in respect to managing the Notebook
