RunWait problem

[hohenheim]

Hi everyone, I jope that someone could help me fixing this:

I have two autoit programs, parent script that runs another script every 10 minutes, no gui showed in both scripts.

The problem is that when the parent script executes the child one; the active window i'm working on switches to inactive(MSN, Firefox....) that's very annoying.

I'm looking for a way to run child script in total transparency. So if someone have the solution to this it would be great. Thanks

you could have the parent script check to see what window is currently active before calling the 2nd script, then write the handle to a small ini file or something. Then first thing the child script could do is get the handle from the saved ini and reactivate that window. You might still get an initial flicker in whatever else you were doing but it may be a place to start.

Without seeing and code it's hard to tell why it would be doing that.

Another option to try (even though there is no GUI) could be Run() or ShellExecute() your child script with the @SW_HIDE flag.

Thank you for your consideration Mr Kaotikbliss.

Here's the simplified child script code:

expandcollapse popup

#include <ie.au3>

$timeout=60000

opt("TrayOnEventMode",1)
Opt("TrayMenuMode",1)

TraySetOnEvent(-7,"traypop")
TraySetOnEvent(-8,"traypopout")
TraySetOnEvent(-13,"show")
TraySetOnEvent(-10,"trayexit")



func traypopout()
    tooltip("")
endfunc

func traypop()
    tooltip($user,_WinAPI_GetMousePosX(),_WinAPI_GetMousePosY()-20,Default,0,2)
endfunc

func trayexit()
    Exit(0)
EndFunc

func show()
    if $shown=1 Then
        $shown=0
        GUISetState(@SW_HIDE)
        return 0
    EndIf
    $shown=1
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
EndFunc


_IELoadWaitTimeout($timeout)
$h=guicreate("Child",900,600)
$iex=_IECreateEmbedded()
guictrlcreateobj($iex,0,0,900,600)



for $x=1 to 5
.
.
.
.
.
Next

exit(1)

And here's the parent script simplified too:

expandcollapse popup

#include <date.au3>

opt("TrayOnEventMode",1)
TraySetOnEvent(-7,"traypop")
TraySetOnEvent(-8,"traypopout")

Opt("TrayMenuMode",1)
TraySetOnEvent(-10,"trayexit")

func trayexit()
    Exit(0)
EndFunc

func traypopout()
    tooltip("")
endfunc

func traypop()
$dirpath=stringsplit(@ScriptDir,'\')
tooltip($dirpath[ubound($dirpath)-1],_WinAPI_GetMousePosX(),_WinAPI_GetMousePosY()-20,Default,0,2)
EndFunc



Do
    filltab($tab,$n)

    for $x=0 to $n-1

        if _datediff('n',_nowcalc(),$tab[$x])<0 Then

        $result=runwait("files\instance.exe "&$x+1,"files\",@SW_HIDE)

    Next

    sleep(getsleep($tab,$n)*1000)

until 0
