Start chrome full screen and open url

[Gorkde 0]

Got a remote that uses autioitscript to control windows.

I need to start chrome full screen and open an url on keypress but since I cant figure out how to do it.

 

I tried 

Run("C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Gorkde\Lokale Einstellungen\Anwendungsdaten\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe", "--start-maximized")

but as soon as I enter anything in the second "" it doesn't open chrome at all (without it it does).

Also I dont know how to also open a url on start and I dont know if start-maximized is fullscreen

 

Any help?

You are passing "--start-maximized" as second parameter to Run. 

Put everything into the first parameter.

Or, like this with ShellExecute:

ShellExecute("chrome.exe", "--start-maximized")

It seems you simply have to pass the URL to open as last parameter.

ok,

Run("C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Gorkde\Lokale Einstellungen\Anwendungsdaten\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe -kiosk http://youtube.com/tv", "")

 

opens chrome and the URL but doesnt open fullscreen any more ideas about fullscreen (normally F11 keypress)?.

Why did you drop -start-maximized?

it seems to just open a maximized window bu I need fullscreen without Bars and so on

Then please check the web for chrome and command line parameters.

ok, got it thanks for your help!
The problem was it just opens in fullscreen when you have no other chrome instance open already.

Run("C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Gorkde\Lokale Einstellungen\Anwendungsdaten\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --start-fullscreen http://youtube.com/tv", "")

you can use -kiosk but then you need ALT F4 to close it

Ok another Question:

Is it possible to somehow open it with the first Keypress and close it with another press at the same key?

Look at HotKeySet in the help file. One function to launch the application, and another to close it (or one function - launch if not exist and close if exist, if you're feeling bold)
