Detecting when a program is started

Hello, i want to create a macro that detects when a window is running and then it hides that window. For example looking for that window each second. I want to do the same but starting another event when another window is detected...

Many thanks in advance,

Regards

did you try the Task plugin? It triggers events, when a window is created so you can launch a macro.

Just use the Find Window action to find the appropriate window and after it a minimize action.

It doesn't work for me... i'm trying to hide a splash screen (MediaPortal splash screen) i've configured the name of the window, then the minimize action, but the window is not removed off the screen...

I'm doing multiple test with the FindWindow action, and it doesn't seems to work. There is a simple way to detect the windows?? isn't enought with part of the window name?. For example, i've only checked the window name, and writed the text "MediaPortal" into this field... But this doesn't work :S
