How do you force a window to minimize when you do something like RUNPROGRAM()?
Thanks

I'm getting a "constant not found error."
Which window will that minimize?
The window I want to minimize is the program window that launches the other app. I should have been more clear.
Thanks.

Sorry.
Use this...
Code: Select all
RunProgram ("NotePad.exe")
ShowWindow_(GetForegroundWindow_(),#SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED )
minimize

Cool.
I fixed it. It was
ShowWindow_(GetForegroundWindow_(),#SW_SHOWMINIMIZED)
and it works now.
Thanks!

Yes, I wanted to MINIMIZE the window. You first example was missing the SHOW part of the constant.
I wasn't clear, but it works now. Thanks.
