Running a script with Skin UDF causes buttons to be instantly clicked

[Kira16651]

Hello,

I'm trying to have a script run in the background and when I press a hotkey, it should start another script. This works just fine for other programs.

Now I tried to make one with some buttons using the Skin UDF (https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/166535-skin-udf/) and whenever I press the hotkey, the window with the buttons is opened and it's like I instantly click the first button. No idea wheather this is because of the Skin UDF or not. I also noticed that the buttons aren't displayed when I press the hotkey.

I isolated the relevant code and added it in the example file.

The "test.exe" is supposed to run in the background. When you press {INS} on the keyboard the "menu.exe" should open. It opens the script without the buttons displayed and the first button i seen as instantly pressed.

When you run the "menu.exe" normally without using the hotkey it works just fine.

Any ideas?

Just found out that if i put the "test.exe" in the same folder as the "menu.exe" it works just fine.

HotKeySet("{INS}", "_RunMenu")

While True
WEnd

Func _RunMenu()
    Local $sMenuPath = @ScriptDir & "\menu.exe"
    Run($sMenuPath)
EndFunc

It doesn't work if i put it in the parent folder however.

HotKeySet("{INS}", "_RunMenu")

While True
WEnd

Func _RunMenu()
    Local $sMenuPath = @ScriptDir & "\menu\menu.exe"
    Run($sMenuPath)
EndFunc

So I still don't know why that happens or how to prevent that. Putting both executables in the same folder is a really bad option for this project that I would like to avoid if at all possible.

Oh and I tried using absolute pathing, but that changes nothing.
