Is it possible to open a window an hide it immediately before it pops up?

Code:

ControlClick, OpenWin2Button, Win1
;;Window pops up for a sec
WinHide,  Win2
Sleep, 3000
WinShow,  Win2

2nd question:
can i somehow click a button in a hidden window?

Code:

WinHide, Win1
ControlClick, OpenWin2Button, Win1
WinHide,  Win2

Reg. 2nd one, I think all you need to add is:

Code:

DetectHiddenWindows,On
ControlClick, OpenWin2Button, Win1

Unfortuneatly it wont work becouse the application has a login window and as it pops up the program unhide itself.

Then try to loop after Run:

Code:

Run,...
If ErrorLevel
 ...
Loop
{
 WinHide, your window
 IfWinExist, your window
  break
}
;Program started and window is hidden

i guess it wont solve my problem.If i hide the window and send a message to it to open a window, the child will be visible. is there any solution to open a window without it being drawn even for a millisec?

yes you can, but it won't block access you said

Because the application reactivates itself you will still see a slight glimpse of it, before you loop/hide it.
You are still able to hide the window when it is first run by:

Code:

Run, (the window name), Hide

as mentioned above by HotKeyIt
