Title: opening (launching) programs with VC
Post by: homelogicatl on November 05, 2016, 02:38:07 PM
Hi everyone

New user here. (with no programming experience)   Im sure this has been posted somewhere on the forum but i cant seem to find it anywhere.  Perhaps im using the wrong terminology in my search.


Im trying to figure out how to open a program that isnt already running in the background. 
I have the sonos plugin (works awesome!) and i want to open the actual SONOS program to view the status on its GUI.

Actually i want to be able to open ANY program and have it as the main focus on the screen and the hide it again when i give an open/close command

Can anyone point me in the right direction

Hi homelogicatl and welcome to the forum.
You can find an overview of the available commands (actually they are called ACTIONS) in the wiki. In your case:

Also, for programs that are already running on your computer, if you just want to maximize the program window, focus the window, minimize (hide) the window, or close the window entirely, you'll want to take a look at the various Window.* actions at the same wiki link.
