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!!!

You just described one... now what are you really wanting to know?

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'.

@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. :D

@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'.

:D ... 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.
