@kwag i don't know the program, but maybe it's inititializeing a lot off stuff before it showes up. Yes indeed!, that's what seems to be happening.
The delay might be diffrent on other pc./ Ram -and harddiskspeed and stuff what ever
Insteed of using Delay 3000
Maybe a loop with
Result =ShowWindow ...

Thanks Henrik :D
I got it working, and I just released an update.
Here's a cut&paste from my source.
Basically, it all boils down to this:

Result=RunProgram( encoderFilePath$, " CQMatic.tpr /Encode /Close",".", 2)

; Wait until program appears.
Repeat
Delay(10)
hwnd = FindWindow_(0,"TMPGEnc ...

No, that's perfect Henrik :)
Your approach is simpler than what I was thinking.
I don't need to do anything while the external program is running. I just have to wait until it's finished, so I can get the data it made.
So it's fine to wait in a loop with a small delay :)

Note: Just so you all know ...

But kwag if you know the name off the window you can do what i said

hwnd = FindWindow_(0,"windowname")
Delay(3000)
CloseWindow_(hwnd)

Hi Henrik,

The problem is that I have to wait for the external program to return, so I'm on a "blocked" state when I execute "RunProgram ...

here you need the Window handle.

Any suggestion for getting the window handler of the external running process

Anyone here knows about a server os [based on freebsd or linux], that has
a websetup, and have Web, ftp and all those stuff?
Sure :D

ah ok.
But i bet it cant do anything else than being a firewall.
No webserver?
No, there's no webserver. It's strictly a firewall/router.
Although it has thttp (Tiny http) built in, it's only for web management from the LAN side, and not accessible from the WAN (Internet) side.

You can do that very quickly in m0n0Wall, as all the administration is Web based

Anyone who runs IPCop (or SmoothWall) and want's to see it bomb quickly :?:

That's exactly what I thought

Hi guys,

I have a question, and I've searched but didn't find an answer.
I need to control an external program which I'm launching via "RunProgram", but what I need to do is to "minimize" the external program as soon as it runs.
I guess this will require some Win32 API stuff, but I haven't found ...

You can use it on an old PC, or put it on a small embedded board, like this:
