Yes.

[martin]

Yes.

Then here is a simple way. Write your script like this

Global $hww, $swintitle = "Untitled - Notepad";put the title of the window to hide here

RUn("programtorun.....;the program you want to run and hide

Hidewindow();hides the window, Ctrl F10 will bring it back to be visible

;rest of your script if anyting


Func HideWindow();
    
       sleep(500);delay to allow window to be created
    $hww = WinGetHandle($swintitle)
    Local $hGui1 = GUICreate('Parent');this is the 'holder' for hidden apps
     DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SetParent", "hwnd", $hww, "hwnd", $hGui1)
    
    HotKeySet("^{F10}", "showWindow")
EndFunc  ;==>HideWindow

Func showWindow()
    DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SetParent", "hwnd", $hww, "hwnd", 0)
EndFunc  ;==>showWindow

I don't know why it doesn't work. If I do this it works with NotePad.

Global $hww, $swintitle = "Untitled - Notepad";put the title of the window to hide here

RUn("Notepad.exe");programtorun.....;the program you want to run and hide

Hidewindow();hides the window, Ctrl F10 will bring it back to be visible

;rest of your script if anyting

while 1
    sleep(90)
WEnd

Func HideWindow();
    
       sleep(500);delay to allow window to be created
    $hww = WinGetHandle($swintitle)
    Local $hGui1 = GUICreate('Parent');this is the 'holder' for hidden apps
     DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SetParent", "hwnd", $hww, "hwnd", $hGui1)
    
    HotKeySet("^{F10}", "showWindow");Ctrl F10 to bring it back
EndFunc ;==>HideWindow

Func showWindow()
    DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SetParent", "hwnd", $hww, "hwnd", 0)
EndFunc ;==>showWindow

If you mean that when you run that example the notepad icon still shows on the task bar then I don't know. I have XP Pro SP3.

No it works for notepad, just not my app.
