MSHTA.EXE starts invisible
in [VbScript]

Next: call vbScript from vba or convert vbscript to vba(Access 2007)?
From: ChrisFromFlens on 7 Jun 2010 09:14 Hi, I'm running a set of vbscripts on different machines (XP and W2k). My Problem is, that at the end of the process I want to see a hta, but sporadicly the mshta.exe is running, but it's invisible. I can tell that's it's working by watching the processlist and by provoking a reaction of the hta, it's just not visble. My vbscript starts a Batch by using the wshshell.run method: set objWSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") objWSHShell.run("c:\mybatch.cmd", 7, true) Everything is fine until here. "mybatch.cmd" starts "showit.vbs": start "c:\showit.vbs" Still everything fine "showit.vbs" starts "myapp.hta": set objWSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") objWSHShell.run("c:\myapp.hta", 1, false) This is whe my problem appears. The mshta-process is running, but the hta will not appear on the deskop. I've not been able to provoke this, it just happens sometimes. BUT: The hta works just fine as long as I'm starting it directly without having any scripts or batches calling it. Any ideas? Christian

Hi Mayayana, thanks for the hint, I was already using the WINDOWSTATE="normal", but I haven't had the SHOWINTASKBAR="yes" in it. I'll try and keep you posted Christian "Mayayana" wrote: > I don't know whether this will solve it, but did you try > the HTA attributes? > > <HEAD> > <TITLE></TITLE> > <HTA:APPLICATION SHOWINTASKBAR="yes" WINDOWSTATE="normal"> > </HEAD> > |
