Hallo,

how can I describe a programm, that it should run in the background, that you can't see any windows and so on, and that it isn't affected by inputs of the keyboard?

THank you!!!

Hi JSThePatriot,

I want to know, how the script can run in the background.

When I run my script and the content of the script is:

run("notepad.exe)

send ("Hello")

Then the programm save the file and close "notepad"

The whole programm should run in the background, that I can't see how notepad start and write "Hello".

@Seth27,

look at '#NoTrayIcon '. If you don't use a GUI in your script you only can find your program in the processlist, I think. How to hide a pcrocess? I don't know.

EDIT1: Sorry I don't read all. Look at 'run' and '@SW_HIDE'.

EDIT2: I tried it with notepad by using 'ControlSend()' but 'ControlSend()' only can send a string to a active window. How to activate a hidden window? If you want to write a file have a look at 'User Defined Function Reference - File Management'.

Notepad is essentially just an Edit control, and as such you can interact using the Control... functions.

@Skruge,

this little script works.

$filenamepath= 'C:\TEMP\test.txt'

Run('notepad.exe','')
ProcessWait('notepad.exe')
ControlSend('Unbenannt - Editor', "", 15, "Hallo" )
ControlSend('Unbenannt - Editor', "", 15, "!d" & 'b' )
Sleep(500)
ControlClick('Editor','',6)
Sleep(500)
ControlFocus('Speichern unter','',1148)
ControlSetText('Speichern unter','',1148,$filenamepath)
ControlClick('Speichern unter','',1148)
Sleep(500)
ControlSend('Speichern unter','',1,'!s')

it doesn't.

I wonder how to check what goes wrong with a hidden window.

@Briegel -

I think the problem may be with ControlSend.

It appears that you're sending menu keystrokes to the Edit control, which apparently works while visible.

I used ClassNameNN notation because I don't know your Control IDs.

I also translated it to english because I'm not sure what [Alt+d, b] represents. (Mein Deutsch ist nicht so gut)

@Seth27 -

This works for me... Hopefully you can adapt that to what you wanted to accomplish.

#notrayicon
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

; Remove Test file
$filenamepath = 'C:\test.txt'
FileDelete($filenamepath)

; Launch Notepad and Enter some text
Run("notepad", "", @SW_HIDE)
ProcessWait("notepad.exe")
ControlSend("Notepad", "", "Edit1", "Hallo")

; Save as $filenamepath
WinMenuSelectItem("Notepad", "", "&File", "Save &As...")
WinWait("Save As", "")
ControlSetText("Save As", "", "Edit1", $filenamepath)
ControlClick("Save As", "", "Button2")

; Show the window after a brief delay
Sleep(5000)
WinSetState("Notepad", "", @SW_SHOW)

@Skruge,

thanks for explanation what did I wrong. Again I've learned something.

The 'Save As' window is visible during control functions works. Is it possible to hide this window too? I tried it with

WinWait('Save As', '')
WinSetState('Save As', '',@SW_HIDE )oÝ÷ Ù»­¶­g­ì"Ú0Ëâ²&åzÖ¤zÈî²Ö¬àÂ+a¢ëwõh§IëRµ«^ßÔ¶»"¯{*.¶ z¹ÚÚÉZ¶*'"׬µçpØ[yÆ®±â-)äʧyçbµ«­¢+ع½ÑÉ好¸)=ÁÐ ÅÕ½Ðí]¥¹Q¥Ñ±5Ñ¡5½ÅÕ½Ðì°È¤((ìIµ½ÙQÍÐ¥±(ÀÌØí¥±¹µÁÑ ôÌäíèÀäÈíQµÀÀäÈíÑÍйÑáÐÌäì)¥±±Ñ ÀÌØí¥±¹µÁÑ ¤((ì1Õ¹ 9½ÑÁ¹¹ÑÈͽµÑáÐ)IÕ¸ Ìäí¹½ÑÁÌäì°ÌäìÌäì°M]}!%¤)AɽÍÍ]¥Ð Ìäí¹½ÑÁ¹áÌäì¤)

EDIT: @SmOke_N,

sorry I didn't see your post before. I think it's not a cheat. It's an easier way to write something.

If you want to write a file have a look at 'User Defined Function Reference - File Management'.

... I've been finding alot of shortcuts lately because I ALWAYS tend to take the long way around everything to get the SAME result.

Edit:

My ebonics is acting up.

hmm, 3 posts and 3 times questionable.

Why are you resurrecting an 2 years old thread that doesn't seem to have much to do with your question.

As to your question: Explain what it is you really want here, because all autoit3 script run independently.
