is there a way to activate a splash screen after creating it?

Howdy all

I am using SplashTextOn() to make a splash screen, however I would like the window to be active and forefronted/selected when it is created. It appears you have to click in the splash window to activate it manually.

I tried the following but it doesn't work... any ideas?
 

$hwindow=splashtexton("Title Here", $message,-1,-1,-1,-1,50)
GUISetState (@SW_SHOW,$hwindow)
GUISetState (@SW_SHOWNORMAL,$hwindow)

I used @SW_SHOW and @SW_SHOWNORMAL, each by themselves and then together as shown above...

I was thinking of simulating a mouse click to try to get it to be active, if that would work, but it's a bit too kludgy

Thanks for any ideas!!

You could create your own splash window instead. Just make a borderless window with the text you want, that way you can have more control over it. I have a splashscreen UDF linked in my signature that can give you some ideas.

Have you tried WinActivate ($hwindow) ?

Nine - that did it!!!  Thanks so much

I thought I was on the right track with GUISetState but I guess not.

BrewMan- thanks for the tip and the like to the UDF, I might use it in the future.
