Progress Bar

Hey does anyone know how to make a progress bar to work with GHOST. This is what i am doing with it. I have made a recovery partition and used Autoit to make a GUI to control it. Now i want to make a progress bar to show the progress of ghost and hide ghost from being seen by the end user. (FYI the reason for hiding ghost is that it is ugly) Any help will be appreciated.

You can not really have a progress bar do this, without patching GHOST. However, you could hide the GUI if you know the winhandle.

Then, you use GUISetState($winhandle, @SW_HIDE)

And if you don't have a handle to the target window, you should be able to create a list of the windows that currently exist, active or inactive, using WinList(). Then you can check things like the title and content to see which one is the correct window.

So, nobody if forcing you to watch it ... OR: whats wrong with just minimizing the window! Edited by MvGulik

because most people that use a recovery partition just let it run, and so i was just trying to make it look a little better.

so with this idea,(just trying to understand) when using "GUISetState($winhandle, @SW_HIDE)" i will hide the GHOST GUI and show my in its place until GHOST is done? if not is there a way to do that with GUISetState($winhandle, @SW_HIDE).

Yes, No, No/Inappropriate_Use.

- GUISetState() is not intended for changing/switching the active focus from one window to a other.

- See help documentation for possible GUISetState() changes. (Help Section: "GUI set parameters, GUISetState.")

- See help section: "Window Management" for commands that are intended to deal with window focus control.
