Sleep And Hide/Show Process

[zxtnt09]

Hi guys,

i need to "hide" a process for "10 secounds " after show that up again ,

my process is "CMD.exe" , i used " echo off " but it doesn't hide ( go minimized , etc ).

i want to do that , something like that : 

1 ) run > cmd.exe

2 ) something write in cmd , like : ping google.com

3 ) when (2) is running , i don't like it was show , i want hide that ( or minimize )

4 ) back to show after "10 sec" 

thanks,

The Run command has a HIDE parameter, which is mentioned in the Help file.

You can also make sure you are using the /c switch with CMD.EXE and not the /k switch ... though use that last when needing to troubleshoot.

Taken straight from the RUN command section of the Help file.

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'commandName', "", @SW_HIDE)

Use the WinSetState command to SHOW the window, if you want.

WinSetState("cmd.exe", "", @SW_SHOW)

I'm just guessing that "cmd.exe" is the window title, so you may have to adjust that bit.

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'commandName', "", @SW_HIDE)

it's true but if you what to use something like that:

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & 'netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="test" dir=in action=allow protocol=UDP remoteport =1010 remoteip=0.0.0.0')

@SW_Hide won't work !

because it show you "Ok." in cmd , 

now how to hide all of that !

( no cmd run up / no "Ok." / nooooooooooooo )

thanks again

Then add the @SW_HIDE flag to it.

thanks guys, 

i should use two paramets : 

•1 by TheSaint ) WinSetState

•2 by JohnOne ) Set @SW_HIDE to flag

Your problem with RunWait, is that you cannot then use WinSetState.

Unless you run it from a second exe.

Example for other people : 

Run(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & 'ping google.com',"",@SW_HIDE)
