Is it possible to stop an application or the screen from redrawing while an AHK script is doing some processing?

I just want to automate something that goes through file menus and dialogs and it would be nice if they didn't flash up on the screen for a split second.

thanks

Depends on the program, you could try to find out if it is possible with post/sendmessage or http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands ... ctItem.htm

I haven't had any luck with post/sendmessage yet but using WinMenuSelectItem made things significantly less flickery.

Thanks!
