Problem with launching application, not set as active window

Post by ekimneems »

Hey all, hope you can help with this strange issue I'm having.

Here's what's happening: If I launch HyperSpin from the Start Menu or shortcut on my task bar, it works fine. However, if I launch it with EventGhost, HyperSpin doesn't respond to anything at all until I hit alt+tab to cycle to another window and then come back to it. I checked the HyperSpin shortcut on the start menu and there didn't seem to be any specific parameters that I need to pass.

In EventGhost, I have an MceRemote Event triggering a Start Program action. It starts Hyperspin.exe with the default settings (I did add the working directory in there but it did nothing). When that didn't work, I added a Wait of 5 seconds and then Find Window: HyperSpin.exe and then a Bring to Front action. I even used the drag & drop to make sure it was the right window but that didn't work either.

Any ideas? Thanks!
