SW_HIDE problem

[EDD]

I'm using SW_HIDE to hide a program. it only works partially.

When i use the following code:

run("c:\StupidFax\StupidFax.exe" ,"",@SW_HIDE)

It executes the program but it wont hide it.

When i use the following code:

run("c:\StupidFax\StupidFax.exe")
WinWaitActive("StupidFax")
WinSetState("StupidFax","",@SW_HIDE)

It starts the program and he also hides it, but i stil got the program in the taskbar. When i click on the program nothing happens so it's not minimized and also not completly hidden.

Anyone who knows why it is not completly hidden, and how i can fix it?

I have similar trouble and 've decided it in complicated way by putting it in the tray objects collection -

It is a know fact that many Windows applications just show their Window anyways and doesn't have anything to do with AutoIt.

A work-around is what you did.. I would only use WinWait() in stead of WinWaitActive().
