[SOLVED] Can I run an Autoit script that requires focus and mouse clicks in the background and do work?

I added the "$_WD_DEBUG = $_WD_DEBUG_None ; You could also use $_WD_DEBUG_Error" but it didn't close the WebDriver.exe

It won't close an already opened console window. However, it will launch the console hidden if you properly initialize $_WD_DEBUG before calling _WD_Startup.

Then when I went to look up info in the wd_core I didn't find any info on _wd_ConsoleVisible other than a note saying you added it?  

That's because you looked in the wrong file. Core functionality goes into wd_core. Everything else goes into wd_helper.

@Danp2 I added "_WD_ConsoleVisible(True)" right after my #includes but It is not hiding the console window.

@nooneclose Obviously, we are having some communication issues. Let me try again.

The webdriver console gets launched in _WD_Startup(). Therefore, either of the following method should work to control the console's visibility --

1) Set the variable $_WD_DEBUG equal to $_WD_DEBUG_None. This should occur after the #include, but before calling _WD_Startup(). This should launch the console in a hidden state.

2) Anytime after calling _WD_Startup(), you can use _WD_ConsoleVisible() to either hide or show the console

Make sense now?

@Danp2 Yes, it does make sense now  Thank you. Thanks to your teaching, the WebDriver.exe console is now hidden.
