Nepali Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 did not worked....opened fontfolder in maximized orderafter 20 sec it restored but didn't closed.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojo Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 For $i = 1 To 2 $pid = Run('explorer ' & @WindowsDir & '\Fonts') Sleep(20000) ProcessClose($pid)NextThis might work instead - it uses the process id (pid) retrieved from the Run function, so that the window title of the fonts folder doesn't matter.Got it from the AutoIt help file > Function reference > Process management Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojo Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 That's weird...Btw, i tested both scripts and mine didn't work, but the one MHz provided did the job just fine...Run('explorer ' & @WindowsDir & '\Fonts')Sleep(20000)WinClose('Fonts')Maybe if you tried quotes instead? (" instead of ')?And does it work with any other folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepali Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 still same problemopens fine but finally restored covering half windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojo Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 I'm sorry, i'm out of ideas... can't help you there.Try searching the AutoIt forums, perhaps you'll find an answer there. Since it's happening on your pc and not on mine, i'm guessing it's related to the way you set up Windows or AutoIt, but that's as far as my knowledge goes...http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/Good luck!

MHz Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 still same problemopens fine but finally restored covering half windows<{POST_SNAPBACK}>You have your titles set for full path to be shown. So I will use a substring option to cater for itOpt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)For $i = 1 To 2 Run('explorer ' & @WindowsDir) Sleep(20000) WinClose('WINDOWS')NextFor $i = 1 To 2 Run('explorer ' & @WindowsDir & '\Fonts') Sleep(20000) WinClose('Fonts')Next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
