Hey, Im making a desktop ball, and with some GUI.

I have it running the program, and nearly closing it, but I also need it to hide the GUI box. I have the hider script working, but not with the GUI.

Any help?

Show us your script and someone will help.

Yeah Ok, I was just going to do that.

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        Case $msg = $start
            sleep(3000)
            Run('E:\Programs\ballbasic.exe')    ; Run Desktop Ball
            MsgBox(0, 'Running', 'Desktop has started') ; Tell user ball started
        Case $msg = $stop
            MsgBox(0, 'Stop', 'Pressing this will end the ball game - stop function not working yet')    ; Stop Ball
        Case $msg = $hide
    If $hidden = "yes" Then
        Sleep (10)
    Else
        Global $title = WinGetTitle("")
        Sleep (10)
    EndIf
    EndSelect

Where do I put this?

where it makes sense... meaning where you want to hide the GUI...

Cheers

Hi,

post the complete script or replace this line GUISetState () by the one mentioned and you'll not see the GUI

Thanks th.meger its now working.

But as it hides the window and runs it like a service, how do I make it show the window again?

Hotkeys:

HotKeySet ("^+w", "Show") ; Key to show
Opt("TrayIconHide", 1) ; Hide icon from tray
$hidden = "no" ; Set name for keys

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        Case $msg = $start
            sleep(3000)
            Run('E:\Programs\deskball.exe')    ; Run Ball
            MsgBox(0, 'Running', 'Ball has started') ; Tell user Ball started
        Case $msg = $stop
            WinKill ('')    ; Stop Ball
            MsgBox(0, 'Stopped', 'Ball has been terminated') ; Tell user ball stopped
        Case $msg = $hide
            GUISetState(@SW_HIDE)
                If $hidden = "yes" Then
        Sleep (10)
    Else
        Global $title = WinGetTitle("")
            MsgBox(64, "Hidden", "Window is now hidden from view!" )    ; Msg now hidden
    EndIf
    EndSelect
Wend

Now I need to kill the desktop ball, which is ran externally, and needs the command where WinKill is, and then also the hotkey to show the GUI again.

Its ok, I now got the windo hiding, now I need to know how to make end the program.

$iPID = ProcessExists('Some.exe')
If WinGetProcess('SomeTitle/Handle') = $iPID Then ProcessClose($iPID)

I don't think you want the {} around it.

Send("^!e")

Did you write the ball program? If so, why can't you add closing functions to it directly?

And last of all, they are not services. Just because an application has no visible interface, it does not become a service. Services run behind the user, sometimes even without the user logged in. They require more complex startup and shutdown code, so please stop calling regular programs services.

Thanks Sm0ke_N but the desktop ball doesnt have a title, and it runs as a service but creates the ball.

There's ways around that as well... I'm not assuming this is your program you are shutting down, or if conditions are met, it's just as easy to use "Exit" and I don't want to assume that you didn't know that (benefit of the doubt).

The way around the title is using Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 4) and classname=

Ahh right, I thought I did need them.

Yes I did write the ball program. There is a closing function, but the GUI also needs to be able to close it.

When I press CTRL+ALT+Del, I have to goto services.

HotKeySet('^!e', '_ExitNow')
While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func _ExitNow()
    Exit -1
EndFunc
Problem solved.
