completely hide launched app

17 Mar 2018, 10:57

Having trouble keeping an app quietly running in the background
I launched it with the ,,Hide parameter, it stays hidden. yet from time to time this app spawns some popup windows (confirmation dialogs) that don't stay hidded.
any way to surpress them too?

adding WinHide, ahk_class #32770 doesn't seem to do any difference...

the app I'm trying to fully hide and automatize is an ad cleaning app.
after scanning it will notify you via popup windows that it eighter didn't find anything or it needs to restart the computer.
I coded so those popup windows are automaticaly accepted...I just don't want to see any trace of them at any time.

just remove the lines of code that trigger the popup windows, its really great news that you are dealing with your own popup windows, because the methods to kill popup windows of other programs involve a few tricks

none of the line of my code trigger the popup windows. the popup windows are from the app I'm trying to get to run completely silently
the code I have regarding them is to click "ok" or "accept" once one of them pops up.
the problem is that although the main app is hidden , all of it's popups are displayed.
eliminating the code that bypass the popup messages would defeat all the purpose of my intent: to run the app completely silently

Look at the docs of the cleaning app - often, those apps allow - to some extent - a silent modus via command line.
Example: https://www.ccleaner.com/docs/ccleaner/ ... parameters

it doesn't.
the app is adwcleaner. already checked the documentation .it has no silent modus
that's why I went with the autohotkey way.
couldn't bet in a milion years to be so close and to be stopped by some damn #32770 messages.
