Run Command Wont work

[The Darkness]

Okay... here is my problem. I am tring to write a gui for my flash drive that will act as a clickable interface to launch certin programs that I use very often. I have got every thing to where it will work, except for one program.

try putting the working directory in Run(".\1.) Trillian IM\trillian.exe", "c:\Full path to working directory")

MAN YOU ARE FREAKIN AWESOME!

That worked!. Now if you have the time could you tell me why it worked and should I do it to my other program shortcuts?

Specifying the working directory meant that the ini files were loaded from that specified directory rather than the directory that your original program was running from

One more thing... is there a way to change the maximize button to do another functon, such as run a program?

If using gui get msg method this works, Just trying to figure out how you do it with onevent

Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_MAXIMIZE
        MsgBox (0,"Max","You have maximised the window")

This will do it with onEvent

GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "SpecialEvents")
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE, "SpecialEvents")
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_RESTORE, "SpecialEvents")
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_MAXIMIZE, "SpecialEvents")

Func SpecialEvents()
    

    Select
        Case @GUI_CTRLID = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            MsgBox(0, "Close Pressed", "ID=" & @GUI_CTRLID & " WinHandle=" & @GUI_WINHANDLE)
            Exit
            
        Case @GUI_CTRLID = $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE
            MsgBox(0, "Window Minimized", "ID=" & @GUI_CTRLID & " WinHandle=" & @GUI_WINHANDLE)
            
        Case @GUI_CTRLID = $GUI_EVENT_RESTORE
            MsgBox(0, "Window Restored", "ID=" & @GUI_CTRLID & " WinHandle=" & @GUI_WINHANDLE)
        
        Case @GUI_CTRLID = $GUI_EVENT_MAXIMIZE 
            MsgBox(0, "Window Maximized", "ID=" & @GUI_CTRLID & " WinHandle=" & @GUI_WINHANDLE)
    EndSelect
