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

Run, Target [, WorkingDir, Max|Min|Hide|UseErrorLevel, OutputVarPID]
or
Gui,Show,Hide

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
