open exe within autoplay

[mrae]

I am using Autoplay 4.0 right now and I am wanting to open itunes app with my autoplay project. Am I able to do this? I am creating a self-serve iPOD loader application for a kiosk computer. My problem is when I exucute to open itunes it comes to the front of the screen, but when I click back to my kiosk program, itunes disappears and I have to contantly hit the open itunes button to copty files over.

If I could open it with the program it would always remain in one place and not disappear.

Thanks!!!

You may have realized this, but you have posted in the AMS 6 forum. Here is a link to the forum with regards to your version (4):

Someone that still uses such may even have a solution for you there.

Yes, I know I posted it in AMS 6.0 forum, as I if there is a solution with Autoplay 6 I will upgrade.

It seems in my searches through the forums that there is no way to embed a program within a autoplay project; namely itunes for my project.

This is unfortunate!

you could use SetParent to embed an EXE. I've done it and it worked very well for me. As for upgrading to v6, it opens a ton of possiblities that v4 was unable to do. Simply getting LUA as the scripting engine is worth it.

mmmm, set parent ?, worm, plz tell me more

is that what the embedded notepad example uses, if so ill download and go from that

It does use SetParent. Although I've had better luck when embedding my own exe's. Sometimes the apps do not redraw correctly when embeded.
