Hiding a Window

[sonofalion]

Hi, I am making a program that opens a command prompt (hidden) and then runs PuTTY. The code is like this:

$cmd_win = @ComSpec 
    $pid = Run($cmd_win, "C:\")
    If @error Then Exit MsgBox(0, "Error PID", $pid)

    Sleep(500)
    ControlSend('[CLASS:ConsoleWindowClass]', '', '', 'cd "Program Files\Putty"' & '{ENTER}')
    Sleep(300)
    ControlSend('[CLASS:ConsoleWindowClass]', '', '', 'putty.exe -telnet 213.249.17.139' & '{ENTER}')

I want to have the PuTTY window start hidden as well. Is this possible?

I tried using WinSetState ('[CLASS:PuTTY]', '', @SW_HIDE) right after the last line, but still I get the PuTTY window for a second or so before it hides...

(Don't ask me to start PuTTY directly, without using the command line. When I do this, the logging feature of PuTTY doesn't work for some reason...)

Why not just run this "putty" using the shellexecute function?

Why not just run this "putty" using the shellexecute function?

Because, as I said in the previous post, PuTTY logging does not work when you do that. And I want it to work.

did you use WinWaitActive('[CLASS:PuTTY]', '', @SW_HIDE) and then WinSetState ('[CLASS:PuTTY]', '', @SW_HIDE) ?

Try the following:

#include <constants.au3>
$a = Run('"C:\Program Files\Putty\putty.exe" -telnet 213.249.17.139', "C:\Program Files\Putty", @SW_HIDE, $STDERR_CHILD+$STDOUT_CHILD)
local $t
While Not @error
    $t &= StdoutRead($a)
WEnd
Msgbox(0,"",$t)oÝ÷ ÚÚºÚ"µÍ[ÛÛÜXÈ    [È ÌÎNÈÐÈ ][ÝÐÎÌLÔÙÜ[H[ÉÌLÔ]IÌLÜ]K^I][ÝÈ][]LËKMËLÎIÌÎNË   ][ÝÐÎÌLÔÙÜ[H[ÉÌLÔ]I][ÝËÝ×ÚYJBÚ[ØZ]XÝ]J    ][ÝÖÐÓTÔÎUWI][ÝÊBÚ[Ù]Ý]J ][ÝÖÐÓTÔÎUWI][ÝËÕ×ÒQJ
