BrewManNH Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Remove the "[ ]" from the last parameter in the ProcessWaitClose command. Those are only there in the help file to indicate that what's inside them is optional, don't include them around those parameters, in any command.

meows Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) First THANK YOU BrewManNH and ApudAngelorum It works. However it has issues. First I need to know where the temp dir is located. As the program keeps running the same exe no matter what I put in the ProcessWaitClose("1aedit.exe") RunWait settings. I even built the program and it worked perfectly but ran the wrong program! I shall try moving that directory and see what that does. Now how do I center screen the splash screen? I can't find anything in help or forums to center a image with a splash screen, Or use a image GUISetBkColor(0xFF9900) instead of a color for a background.

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted April 17, 2012 Moderators Share Posted April 17, 2012 Hi, meows. Look into @DesktopHeight and @DesktopWidth in the helpfile.

BrewManNH Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Your process parameter for the ProcessWaitClose isn't correct. From the help file for ProcessWaitClose:Process names are executables without the full path, e.g., "notepad.exe" or "winword.exe"Also, RunWait won't let the script continue until that program has closed, your ProcessWaitClose probably isn't even seeing the first program run because of this. Although, if it's not running any longer, it will just go right past that line anyways. As to your FileChangeDir command, you can include the working directory in the Run command so that shouldn't be needed. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

And Just doing what I find in the forums and help files. This actually does work at least on my computer. I have to have the working dir for these programs to run and how can they find themselves if I do not put in the location? I looked all over the help files for how to set relative directories so when you build the program can find it's self and files it needs to interact with.

BrewManNH Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 @ScriptDir will tell the script the directory the script is being run from.From the help file for the Run command:Run ( "program" , "workingdir" , show_flag , opt_flag )That's where you can set the working directory for the Run command. FileSetDir does the same thing, but you don't need to do that if you set it in the Run command. Also, because you used RunWait instead of Run, the working directory isn't getting set until AFTER the program has finished running, and not during its run. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted April 18, 2012 Moderators Share Posted April 18, 2012 @DesktopHeight and @DesktopWidth are macros that automatically input those values. Try @DesktopHeight - 50 or @DesktopHeight / 2 to see the effect. You can then play around with this until you get your desired effect. "Profanity is the last vestige of the feeble mind.
