Mechaflash Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) I have an application that I start as Hidden because I don't want the user to actually interface with it, as they can screw up the flow of the program if they decide to go "OOOOOO!!! I can hAz t0uc4 8utt0nz!?". Is there a way to activate a button on a hidden window? EDIT: Tested controlclick on it when it is maximized/restore, and as hidden, and as I thought, it requires the physical window to be visible to work.

You’re on a boat with the man your man could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an oyster with two tickets to that thing you love. Look again, the tickets are now diamonds. Anything is possible when your man smells like Old Spice and not a lady. I’m on a horse.”
somdcomputerguy Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 Yes. See ControlClick() in the Help file. - Bruce /*somdcomputerguy */ If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

somdcomputerguy Posted February 22, 2012 Posted February 22, 2012 RemarksSome controls will resist clicking unless they are the active window. Use the WinActivate() function to force the control's window to the top before using ControlClick().I guess this is one of those controls.. - Bruce /*somdcomputerguy */ If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
Mechaflash Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 Gah... is there an alternative method for forcing an action to a button on an application?

Mechaflash Posted February 22, 2012 Author Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) HEHEHE!!! Screw it... I forced a WinMove("Title","",99999,99999,1,1,0) instead of hiding it LOL! It works unless someone else has a better more... "Practical" way of doing this?
