what ? since when? k another try

1. search for your client with the PID
2. then use the attributes @sw_minimize or maximize
3. use a while loop that make controlsend and then sw_minimize or you block the process to maximize

or very easy take the window and drag it to the edge then it is invisible^^

ControlSend is the only order to send something to a hidden window.

For example:

PHP Code:


			
$hWnd = "World of Warcraft"


ControlSend($hWnd,"","","Hello World!")

If you want to use ControlSend you must know how-to, look:

PHP Code:


			
ControlSend 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sends a string of characters to a control.


ControlSend ( "title", "text", controlID, "string" [, flag] )


 

Parameters

title The title of the window to access. 
text The text of the window to access. 
controlID The control to interact with. See Controls. 
string String of characters to send to the control. 
flag [optional] Changes how "keys" is processed:
  flag = 0 (default), Text contains special characters like + to indicate SHIFT and {LEFT} to indicate left arrow.
  flag = 1, keys are sent raw.

Maybe you must use controlID and text for your hidden window.
