How to Automatically run a specific program when another specific program is closed?

[yfjuu6]

I want "ahk_exe QTranslate.exe" to be running automatically in system tray as soon as another "ahk_exe pycharm64.exe" is closed.

I've tried this :

Code: Select all

Loop {

if WinExist("ahk_exe pycharm64.exe")

WinWaitClose, ahk_exe pycharm64.exe

Run, "C:\Program Files (x86)\QTranslate\QTranslate.exe",,hide

}

The problem with this is that the "QTranslate" window always appears continuously, and when I close it, It appears and appears without stopping, and "QTranslate" does not start running in the system tray, that happens when "ahk_exe pycharm64.exe" does'nt exist.

- Please help! Thanks.

If pycharm has no window or a hidden window, you might have a problem. The Process command might help in some situations like this.

Your loop probably also needs adjustment. At the end of the loop, you probably want to wait for some process to exist before the loop continues to its next iteration.
