Hi all,
I'm currently using the "Launch an Application and Move it to a Specific Location" script. I would like to add 2 more options to that script:

1) This should be simple I imagine: For some of the apps that launch with the script I would like to have them launched and then minimized. What command line should I add to do that?

2) This is probably more compilacated but I imagine it's still doable: For some programs that launch I would like to set up an option that auto clicks a certain button on the app interface so for example lets say I have Spotify as one of the apps to launch in my script so I would like to add a command that after it launches it waits 5 seconds to fully load and then I would like to have the play button auto-clicked. Is this something that can be done?

Hello,

1. This line will do that for you:

Code
Copy
Select All

BFS.Window.Minimize(windowHandle);

2. If it's opening to the exact same location every time, you can use this line to move the mouse to the specific coordinates of the play button:

Code
Copy
Select All

BFS.Input.SetMousePosition(100, 100);

and then this line to send a left click:

Code
Copy
Select All

BFS.Input.LeftClickMouse();

Hope that helps!

and also, how can I add a 5 second delay before it clicks the leftbutton on the desired location to make sure the app is fully loaded?

This line will do that for you, the timer is in milliseconds:

Code
Copy
Select All

BFS.General.ThreadWait(5000);

So I got the postion mouse and left click to work but for some reason I can't get the minimized function to work.
I'm guessing it's beacuse of the windowhandle. How can I find out what is the windowhandle of a certaion application?
Thanks for your patience

The windowHandle variable will be whatever window is currently focused, which should be the window you've just launched. Try adding a 1 or 2 second delay before the minimize line, maybe it's trying to run too quick
