Launch my script on startup but minimized

[eL Tux]

Hi, my script have a GUI and I want to launch my script on windows startup but minimized.

So I can launch my script on windows startup with this :

Code: Select all

FileCreateShortcut %A_ScriptFullPath%,%A_Startup%\%A_ScriptName%.lnk

But how to launch my script minimized in tray on startup and still launch my script not minimized when double-click on my script icon ?

Sorry for my poor english
Thanks.

not sure what you're asking for.

you can simply create two shortcuts; then RMB select Properties, change "Run" to Minimized, the other set to "Normal Window",
drag and drop one shortcut to the startup folder and you're done.

Try something like this:

Code: Select all

menu, tray, add, maximize, max
menu, tray, default, maximize
gui, add, text, w100, some text
gui, show, minimize
return

max:
Gui, restore

Double click on the tray icon.

This is what I need to do but from the script, so there is a way to set Run : Minimized from Autohotkey ?

In this way my script always run minimized even when double-click on my script icon.

EDIT: Maybe I found a way to do it by creating another small script "RunMini.ahk" with this :

Code: Select all

#NoEnv
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%
SetWinDelay, -1
Run, %A_ScriptDir%\MyScript.ahk,,, pid
WinWait, ahk_pid %pid%
WinMinimize

And then in MyScript.ahk :

Code: Select all

FileCreateShortcut %A_ScriptDir%\RunMini.ahk,%A_Startup%\%A_ScriptName%.lnk
