Minimizing

[the_lord_mephy 0]

I know this question is probably asked a lot, but is there a way to make it so that u can minimize a script and it still works?

For example in like some sort of window?

I assume you mean minimize a window.

You can interact with a window using "Control" commands whether it is minimized or not. pretty much... unless the author of the app does something drastic to their minimized app.

Larry,

Does "control" also work with hidden windows?

i dont understand like how to make the "window" to work with. thats all i want to know and i will finally be able to make useful scripts!

You can identify the window by its Window title and/or Text in the window.

e.g

Run("notepad")
WinWait("Untitled")
WinSetState("Untitled",'',@SW_MINIMIZE)
ControlSend("Untitled","","Edit1","typed while the window was minimized")
WinSetState("Untitled",'',@SW_RESTORE)

www.stealthbot.net for example. if you download their bot, when u run it it opens a window and its like their own program window, with the list of ppl in the chat room, the chat room window your own place to type, a button to connect to online and a button to disconnect, etc.

how do they make one of those windows

Mephy, I suppose that you are a DIabloII player and you want to create a DiabloII pindlebot much like Rishodi's? I am 100% sure that it cannot work in a minimized mode like JHJ's Pbot because it uses the mouse manually. I am a noob to autoit also. Haha, good luck with your pindlebot.
