Unable to SW_SHOW the Window after Hiding it...

[CrewXp]

Hey, I'm creating a automated installer that goes through and sets up the setup for the user automatically. I wanted to hide the setup installation program from the user, and let autoit do everything in the background.....

But the thing is... I can't unhide it..

WinSetState("DevKitC Setup", "Welcome to DevKitC Setup Wizard", @SW_HIDE)
;;;CODE HERE THAT SELECTS BUTTON
WinSetState("DevKitC Setup", "Welcome to DevKitC Setup Wizard", @SW_SHOW)

It just doesn't show... I try almost every command there is.. maximize, show, enable, restore.... it just doesn't show up.

I have to manually exit from task manager.

Thanks.

Try using the Window Handle without the text parameter.

Edit:

Example:

$hWnd = WinGetHandle("DevKitC Setup", "Welcome to DevKitC Setup Wizard")
WinSetState($hWnd, @SW_HIDE)
;;;CODE HERE THAT SELECTS BUTTON
WinSetState($hWnd, @SW_SHOW)

thx! that worked. But I had to use

WinSetState($hWnd,"",@SW_HIDE)

etc... in order to get it to work.

Ha... yeah that makes sense considering I missed the text parameter :"> .... glad it worked though.
