taskbar showing if xbmc started from eventghost

[stevvie]

I use an original Xbox remote with the dongle on windows7X64 all is fine except that I have deleted all the number buttons (as I have never used them in xbmc) and assigned 3 to page up and 9 to page down, now these work ok. I have also assigned 0 to start xbmc and 5 to quit it. Now 5 quits it ok and 0 starts xbmc but if I start it with the desktop in focus which is normal usage for windows then xbmc starts and the taskbar is always shown. Does anybody know how to start xbvmc from a remote key and have xbmc start in front of the task bar ?

In XBMCs settings make it use fullscreen or use "Window\Find window" and "Window\Bring to front" actions. That's what I do.

thanks Window\Bring to front worked

[stevvie]

OK bring to front didn't actually work I stupidly had eventghost window open and launched XBMC which seems to ALWAYS bring XBMC to the front. If the eventghost window is not in focus XBMC ALWAYS starts behind the taskbar when started through an eventghost macro. Can anybody show how to fix this. Here's a screen shot of my Eventghost macro

same problem here.
tried already with find window, bring to front,
also with some sleeping. did not work.

other sugegstions?

These are my settings in Find Window:

And I always get XBMC in fullscreen. If you don't use the "Wait up to" maybe the "Bring to front" is too fast. I did a test with Wait up to 0 and XBMC didn't get in focus.
