Hide Window in windows 10 - (Moved)

[sahinatam 0]

We have  autoit code to run and hide some software. It was working on windows 7 successfully. But when we migrate to windows 10, we saw that it didn't  work while hiding window.

ShellExecute("C:\IPMS\NSClient++\nscp.exe", "test",@SW_HIDE)

Sleep(2000);

WinSetState ( "nscp.exe", "", @SW_HIDE)

When i print return code of WinSetState, it is 1 (no error)

Do you have any idea ?

You do realize that this won't work because you have the showflag in the wrong position, correct?

Below one is not also working.

ShellExecute("C:\IPMS\NSClient++\nscp.exe", "test")

Sleep(2000);

WinSetState ( "nscp.exe", "", @SW_HIDE)

What about this?

ShellExecute("C:\IPMS\NSClient++\nscp.exe", "test", "", "open", @SW_HIDE)

That worked thank you so much. But is it possible to show it 2 seconds then hide ?

[Danp2 891]

I'm sure that it is. It's likely that your WinSetState command isn't working as expected because it is finding a different window than you are targeting. Have you tried supplying some text from the window as the 2nd parameter of WinSetState to assist in finding the correct window?

When i use the autoit window info tool (https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/intro/au3spy.htm) to find the title of my application, i got the info in the attachment. When i use the Title part int this tool, it didnt work.

Please show us the contents of the Visible Text tab.

Nothing on the Visible Text tab.

Do you get more than one window shown when you run this code?

Local $aWinList = WinList("nscp.exe")
_ArrayDisplay($aWinList)

do you have set Opt ("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) ?

[sahinatam 0]

Those results are not from the code I posted.

@Danp2

 

Sorry, i added below the ss.

 

 

[Danp2 891]

So that indicates that no matching windows were found. You'll need to figure that out.

[Nine 931]

Did you run the exe before ?  Now let's make a full runable script so we can stop guessing :

#include <Array.au3>

Opt ("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

ShellExecute("C:\IPMS\NSClient++\nscp.exe", "test")
Sleep(2000)
$array = WinList ("nscp.exe")
_ArrayDisplay ($array)

But that code returns one row.

Local $aWinList = WinList("C:\IPMS\NSClient++\nscp.exe")
_ArrayDisplay($aWinList)

@Nine When i run your code, i, got the same result
