Minimize a program on startup

Post by stonewall »

I'm sure this is easy for the lot of you. I'm new to Eventghost and I've been working on configuring my new nettop. So i've got my remote working for XBMC as well as getting it booted it up upon startup, but I also have this VOIP program/hardware Magic Jack that I need to boot at startup, but I can't figure our how to minimize the Magic Jack program once it loads. It covers up XBMC when it finally does load, which takes about a minute once the system is done booting.

This HTPC won't have a mouse once I finish tweaking it. I believe all I need to do is create a minimizing event once Magic Jack loads, but I'm dumb on how to do that.

There's a Window->Minimize action. Before you get rid of the mouse, get the Task.Activated action for Magic Jack starting. Then use this event to trigger the minimize. You may need a "Find Window" action in the middle to make sure you minimize the right window.
