iTunes Scripting

[YaKillaCJ]

I have searched and found this: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...amp;hl=toolbars

However, Im still a little lost at finding the required info.

Background Info:

I Own an iPod Touch and have IntelliRemote. The problem is that its limited to only controlling iTunes when its highlighted window. So I figured Ill look in2 scripting. So far I have it do this. This runs the simple task of Next Track and it does it whether its Minimized (Both Regular or as Toolbar). I added *Run("C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe")* to get that done even if I have toolbar enabled.

Wanted to kno if theres a way 2 bypass Run() because I doubt its a good Idea to have it Open everytime.

Heres what Ive Written:

Run("C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunes.exe")

WinSetState("iTunes","iTunes",@SW_MAXIMIZE)

WinActivate("iTunes","iTunes")

WinWaitActive("iTunes")

Send("{MEDIA_NEXT}")

WinSetState("iTunes","iTunes",@SW_MINIMIZE)

Maxing itunes to change the song is unnecessary-

you might want to try using the extremely useful UDFs found here instead of sending a keystroke:

And here's two lines of script that'll go to the next song:

$iTunesApp = ObjCreate("iTunes.Application");you only need to do this once, itunes must be open beforehand

$iTunesApp.NextTrack        ;this changes the song

edit***

And to have iTunes only run if it isnt open already try:

If Not (ProcessExists("itunes.exe")) Then
    Run("C:\Program Files\iTunes\itunes.exe")
EndIf

Thanx alot. It was looking like a foreign language at first but its making sense now

Ive altered this so its only 1 button on my iPod Touch as an example. Just would like a thumbs up if Im in right direction

$iTunesApp = ObjCreate("iTunes.Application");you only need to do this once, itunes must be open beforehand
If $iTunesApp.VisualsEnabled = 0 Then
        $iTunesApp.VisualsEnabled = 1
    Else
        $iTunesApp.VisualsEnabled = 0
    EndIf
