jpomalley Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 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!!

BrewManNH Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 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. jpomalley 1 If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

jpomalley Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
