[Dummy Gui for Monitoring]

Hi Guyz
i created a Dummy gui for a very complex Security information event managment system.

basically , the system has rules / etc which are triggerd on certain events , in order to let pepole know about the events it emails but also - user intervention is needed in order to create a CASE / Ticket in a ticketing system.

after a case is created it will be handled by the rightful owners

so i basically created mouse / click / keyboard events and recorded it , and on certain resolution and certain settings - the program works great.

However

i was asked to do the following - which i dont know
make the GUI window - always on top
and "hide" the window tasks (Close/Minimize/Maximize) , so the only way to close the program will be right click on the program and choose close

here is the code - will anyone help me to do so ?
thanks

you can make a gui be always-on-top by specifying

hey , thanks for the help
ive just started using AHK and i really love it

i just dont want the gui to be closed
as the NOC/SOC will be operated by computer dummies (their only there to see if an alert pops of the screen and use the macro)

and if it will be closed , im not sure they'll be able to open it
(lolmonkeys)

Hmm, let me get this right..you want to make the gui NOT close when you hit the X at the top right? well...If that is what you want to do, you could specify somthing else for the GUI to do when the X it pressed ..somthing like this ( Im not exactly sure what you want , because i have a concussion o.o)

[Guest]

yes, that is true
i dont want them to be able to close the gui window


thanks ill try the modifications

use also #NoTrayIcon so people cant quit it from there.

They also could quit it from Task Manager.
This could help if u can fit it somewhere:

Name your script something that sounds important and compile it. It will show up in TaskManager under that name. Try something like "WinlogonControl.exe"... I doubt anyone would close that without knowing what it is.

is there a way for AHK to detect certain text or buttons ?
(not processes)

Question seems a little odd for this topic, but yes. It's the "WinText" parameter close to the "WinTitle" parameter on each command. Use "WinGetText" to retrieve the actual text.

its hard to remember sometimes that other people are just normal mortals.

got it
yea i started doing this thread as a "guest" and didnt see the Subject well , guess i misfilled it and theres no way i can edit it

[Guest]

is there a way to add a progress bar as far as the script progresses ? (the first one takes around 30 seconds to complete)

could be nice ^^
