Hey Angelscry, I need a little help.
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.

Wow that was a fast response.
I just installed the PStools package, extracted the zip, put them in C:\Windows and created a text file in notepad and saved it as a .bat with the paths modified to suit my needs, then I redirected the launcher to the .bat. When I try to launch the application using the .bat, XBMC goes small for a split second as if it's going to launch something but then it returns back to full screen and the application has not been launched. Any idea why this might be?
