$Timer=TimerInit()

While 1
    $MSG = GUIGetMsg()
        If $MSG = $OK Then
            GUIDelete($GUI)
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    If $MSG = $About Then

If TimerDiff($Timer) >= 20 * 1000 then Exit;after 20 seconds exit or you could exitloop and proceed to the next part of the script

thanks a lot but also tell me about other problems.

sorry for asking many questions in one thread

[ChrisL]

I'm not sure I fully understand number 3.

a ) Do you need to launch a program and send some command line arguments to it?

or

b ) Do you need to interact with a window without setting it in focus. i.e. leave it minimized?

For a ) you use Run("PathToProgram.exe CommandLineArg1 CommandLineArg2" , "FolderOfProgram")

For b ) you need to look in the help file for ControlCommand() ControlSend() and other "Control" related functions

Not sure anout number 4!

Edit: Bloody smilies didn't like b ) with out a space it does this
