I have one quick question - is there any way to make Advance Launcher keep focus on XBMC throughought?
I want to use Advanced Launcher to launch a shortcut that runs a bat file in a hidden window. However it seems that even using hstart and running the shortcut minimised, XBMC will lose focus for a moment, go windowed, and then return to the foreground. Is there any way to prevent this behaviour?
Thanks

For this you just need to created a launcher (a standalone or a files launcher) with a .BAT file as application. Once the launcher is created you have to go into "Edit Launcher", "Advanced Modifications" and set the "Toggle XBMC Fullscreen" to "Off". Also take care that the "show batch command window" is not activated into the "Debug" section of Advanced Launcher settings.(2012-06-22, 14:31)Angelscry Wrote:(2012-06-22, 07:24)kiboy6 Wrote: Hi - first of all thanks for this great addon.I will try to take a look this week-end, but I'm not sure it will possible.

Many thanks - if there's anything you could do to keep XBMC seamlessly on top and the launched program behind it that would be amazing!

Then after, if you do not want XBMC to loose the focus, you must take care to not start application that will take it. And it's here that it becomes more complicated. Because, under Windows, once you start an application with a new windows... it take the focus. I don't think it will be possible to bypass this from Advanced Launcher or XBMC, because it is a Windows related problem.
There is a large discussion about application stealing focus under Windows 7 here : http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windo...9cd?page=3

Okay I modifying the folders, so just to be clear, I make a the main game folder and then a folder for each image or can I just put each image in the game folder?

Before I get into detail, I should tell you that my knowledge of AutoIt scripting (and programming in general) is slim to none. I only know what I've inferred from trial and error and reading scripts you've helped other users with. That said, I've managed fine up until now but I'm really not sure how to proceed with my next task.
Basically what I'm trying to do is make an AutoIt script that can suspend the XBMC process when I launch an executable from Advanced Launcher. The executable will be in the form of an AutoIt script used to launch an application. After the application is launched, I need it to suspend the Xpadder process, otherwise my control config used to navigate the XBMC menus will be used in whatever game I'm playing. When I terminate the executable, it should resume the Xpadder process and resume XBMC. Up until now, I've just been setting AutoIt to start my executables, kill XBMC, ESC to terminate the executable and relaunch XBMC, but that's not really an option anymore since I need Xpadder to navigate the menus with my controller.
If you're wondering, the reason I'm using Xpadder instead of editing the keymap XML for my controller is because, for some reason, my d-pad isn't detected when I use the hat commands, in order to get my d-pad to be recognized I have to use the axis command, which makes scrolling through menus and such too sensitive to be used.
Hope this makes sense, it's a bit difficult to explain exactly how I want it and I'm not even sure if what I'm asking is possible, but any help is appreciated.
pssuspend "XBMC.exe"
pssuspend "Xpadder.exe"
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\PATH\TO\YOUR\APPLICATION"
YOUR_APPLICATION.exe
pssuspend -r "Xpadder.exe"
pssuspend -r "XBMC.exe"
