Thread: Launch program minimized

what we want to achieve is to have MM ready in the background so if we hit the GPS button the map will be ready. (no MM logo or waiting for gps signal or all the things that happen when you hit the button)

use the same code and change the 0 to a 7

WSH.Run "test.bat", 7

so where "test.bat" is = MapMonkeylauncher.exe right?? no MapMonkey.exe because that is the tricky part I think...

Thanks Frodo.

Thanks Frodo.

"test.bat" is whatever program you need to run minimized.

Here is a reference for that object:

As you can see, 0 hides, 7 minimizes with no focus.

This is the file info:


Dim WSH
Set WSH = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WSH.Run "C:\DestinatorApps\Map Monkey\MapMonkeyLauncher.exe", 7


And the pic is the error:

Sorry, it's an escaped character problem.

Do this:

WSH.Run """C:\DestinatorApps\Map Monkey\MapMonkeyLauncher.exe""", 7

Well the above info resolve the error problem but when I hit the gps button I still have the "loading plugin" window

Also after doing this volume goes up to 100%

I guess Map Monkey isn't very smart.

Wierd.
