Good morning community! :)
I was working on a script which read the content of a .ini file to retrieve the file that has to open, and, based on the value of a second key stored in the .ini file, set the window on top, minimized or maximized...
I did something like this, but seems to not work properly...
Could anyone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you :)

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <AutoItConstants.au3>
;#include <WinAPIEx.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Local $sFileConfigurazione = @ScriptDir & "\configurazione_exe.ini"

If(FileExists($sFileConfigurazione)) Then
    Local $aSezioneIni = IniReadSection($sFileConfigurazione, "CONFIGURAZIONE_EXE")
    If @error Then
        MsgBox($MB_ICONERROR, "Errore!", "Errore durante l'apertura del file: " & @CRLF & $sFileConfigurazione & @CRLF & "Errore: " & @error)
    Else
        ; Lancio dell'applicativo indicato nel file di configurazione
        Local $iPID = ShellExecute($aSezioneIni[1][1])
        Local $hWnd
        If($iPID <> 0) Then
            Local $aWinList = WinList()
            For $i = 1 To $aWinList[0][0]
                If(WinGetProcess($aWinList[$i][1] = $iPID)) Then
                    $hWnd = $aWinList[$i][1]
                EndIf
            Next
            Switch($aSezioneIni[2][1])
                Case $aSezioneIni[2][1] = "MIN"
                    ToolTip("MIN", 0, 0)
                    WinSetState($hWnd, WinGetTitle($hWnd), @SW_MINIMIZE)
                Case $aSezioneIni[2][1] = "MAX"
                    ToolTip("MAX", 0, 0)
                    WinSetState($hWnd, WinGetTitle($hWnd), @SW_MAXIMIZE)
                Case $aSezioneIni[2][1] = "TOP"
                    ToolTip("TOP", 0, 0)
                    WinSetOnTop($hWnd, WinGetTitle($hWnd), $WINDOWS_ONTOP)
            EndSwitch
        EndIf
    EndIf
EndIf

And the .ini file is like this:
  

[CONFIGURAZIONE_EXE]
PercorsoExe=Here goes the path and the .exe to execute
ModalitaAperturaExe=Here goes one of the value below
/* TOP Shows the windows on top */
/* MIN Shows the window minimized */
/* MAX Shows the window maximized */

FrancescoDiMuro,

This works for me. I have highlighted the changes (<<<<<<<<): 

#include <Array.au3>
#include <AutoItConstants.au3>

$iPID = ShellExecute("text.txt")

; Use placeholder as flag for success <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Local $hWnd = 9999

Do
    ; List GUIs
    $aWinList = WinList()
    ; Check if PID found and if GUI is visible <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    For $i = 1 To $aWinList[0][0]
        If WinGetProcess($aWinList[$i][1]) = $iPID And BitAND(WinGetState($aWinList[$i][1]), 2) Then
            ; Store handle
            $hWnd = $aWinList[$i][1]
            ; Stop searching <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
            ExitLoop
        EndIf
    Next
    ; Save CPU
    Sleep(10)

Until $hWnd <> 9999 ; Keep looking until GUI appears <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

$iMode = InputBox("Mode", "1, 2, 3")

Switch $iMode
    Case 1 ; Use correct syntax for Switch - you were using Select syntax <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
        ToolTip("MIN", 0, 0)
        WinSetState($hWnd, "", @SW_MINIMIZE)
    Case 2
        ToolTip("MAX", 0, 0)
        WinSetState($hWnd, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
    Case 2
        ToolTip("TOP", 0, 0)
        WinSetOnTop($hWnd, "", $WINDOWS_ONTOP)

EndSwitch

@Melba23
Thank you for you corrections :)
I'll try your code asap :)

you were using Select syntax <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Sorry for the mistake... Better if I change the Switch...Case to the Select...Case, in order to tell the script what I mean! :)
Again, thank you, and have a wonderful day :)

EDIT:

Bizzarre things here!
If I use this code, and try to run Notepad, I can't click anymore on anything on the first screen ( I have 2 screens )...
I have added everything you suggested to me LESS the control over the visible of the GUI...
What the?!

                    WinSetOnTop($hWnd, WinGetTitle($hWnd), $WINDOWS_ONTOP)
            EndSelect
        EndIf
    EndIf
EndIf

EDIT 2:

Even If I copy-pasted your code, it doesn't work for me, launching Notepad...
I don't know why...

FrancescoDiMuro,

Change 

If(WinGetProcess($aWinList[$i][1] = $iPID)) Then

to read 

If WinGetProcess($aWinList[$i][1]) = $iPID Then

and it will work.

Might I suggest NOT placing parentheses around the arguments for If comparisons - they are only really necessary when using Not to make sure you apply the logical operator to only the required part of the expression.

Good morning @Melba23:)
Thank you for your suggestion... I applied it too, but, unfortunately, it still doesn't work properly...
I tried to launch Notepad.exe...
I don't know why it doesn't work... The window appears in the left-bottom side ( outside the screen ) of the screen...
This is the code:
  

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <AutoItConstants.au3>

Local $sFileConfigurazione = @ScriptDir & "\configurazione_exe.ini"

Local $aWinList

If(FileExists($sFileConfigurazione)) Then
    Local $aSezioneIni = IniReadSection($sFileConfigurazione, "CONFIGURAZIONE_EXE")
    If @error Then
        MsgBox($MB_ICONERROR, "Errore!", "Errore durante l'apertura del file: " & @CRLF & $sFileConfigurazione & @CRLF & "Errore: " & @error)
    Else
        ; Lancio dell'applicativo indicato nel file di configurazione
        Local $iPID = ShellExecute($aSezioneIni[1][1])
        Local $hWnd = 9999 ; Placeholder for success
        Do
            $aWinList = WinList()
            For $i = 1 To $aWinList[0][0]
                If WinGetProcess($aWinList[$i][1] = $iPID) And BitAND(WinGetState($aWinList[$i][1]), 2) Then
                    $hWnd = $aWinList[$i][1]
                    ExitLoop
                EndIf
            Next
            Sleep(10) ; Save CPU
        Until $hWnd <> 9999

        Select
            Case $aSezioneIni[2][1] = "MIN"
                WinSetState($hWnd, "", @SW_MINIMIZE)
            Case $aSezioneIni[2][1] = "MAX"
                WinSetState($hWnd, WinGetTitle($hWnd), @SW_MAXIMIZE)
            Case $aSezioneIni[2][1] = "TOP"
                WinSetOnTop($hWnd, WinGetTitle($hWnd), $WINDOWS_ONTOP)
        EndSelect
    EndIf
EndIf

If anyone would help me, I'd be very happy :)
Thanks again and sorry for my requests...

That is because you have NOT applied it. You still have: 

If WinGetProcess($aWinList[$i][1] = $iPID)

when what you should have is: 

If WinGetProcess($aWinList[$i][1]) = $iPID

which is exactly the same error as I corrected above.

If you actually read the help you were given, so would we.
