RE: [Talk] Minimize the Console window

Try this in your script...

 

Activate "Console"  'the console's caption may be different
SendKeys "% N", True    'this sends an Alt-Space-N to the console to minimize it.

There's a concern here about how the console application behaves if it actually is a minimized DOS application, so may sure it will take Key commands properly.  If it's a DOS app you may need to preceed each Key string with a "@_" as in, for example, Key "@_{Enter}"

Subject: [Talk] Minimize the Console window

Has anyone had success in minimizing a 32-bit Console window?

To minimize the Workstation window I used
Taskbar = True
which was successful, but it doesn't work for a Console window after the
Connect "myconsole", stConsole
command and repeats minimizing the Workstation window.
I'm still tinkering with this one.
If not possible, then I'll utilize the pop-up windows for errors and for the
script successful completion, then use
Shutdown = True
to close the Workstation application.

Thanks,
Mark
