Small Problem with Run Command

[Emiel Wieldraaijer]

Hi All,

I've got a small problem with hidden a program and showing it afterwards

Example

$ProgramPID = Run("ProgramName.exe", "", @SW_HIDE)
$PWC1 = ProcessWait(ProgramName.exe)
If $PWC1 = "1" Then
        WinSetState("ProgramTitle", "", @SW_SHOW)
        ; Also tried  WinActivate("ProgramTitle")
EndIf

Sometimes the program is not shown but the process is running.

I know i do not have to use the @SW_HIDE but this is not the complete code

Thnx

Emiel

Have you checked the return value of WinSetState()? I think it fires too soon.

Because, process is not the same as window. If process exists, it doesn't mean any window belonging to that process exist yet, it just means that process exists. Some programs really take their time initializing data before creating main window.

WinWait/WinExists would make more sense than ProcessWait in your case.
