command line options and directives

Archiver

I'm using the 2sx with stampw 1.1 (or I could just use the DOS
software). I would like to know if there are any command line options
and/or directives such that I can . . .

1 - load a program (I know how to do this in both dos and windows
with the command line)

2 - select a particular comm port (the DOS program has a command line
option for this).

3 - upload the program into the stamp automatically (I can't figure
this part out)

4 - exit the program (I can do this through my windoze program,
though, so it doesn't matter).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike

P.S. I'm aware of a few other options I have, such as sendkeys, using
the stache, etc. I really need to do this as I describe above.

I have found the registry setting that the stampw program uses to
recall the com ports and other settings:

To change the comm port, edit the registy value:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ParallaxInc\Stamp\1.0
ComPort -- e.g. "Com5"

The only thing I really need to do now is figure out how to
automatically upload the program without displaying the program
window to the end user. I'm not sure whether I can use sendkeys
command to a program that is hidden or minimized through VB. I'll try
that next.

Of course, I'm still open to suggestions [noparse];)[/noparse]

Thanks!

Hi Mike

Try sending the WM_CLOSE windows message to application handle (hWnd).

Use Windows API to find the corresponding window/application handle (see
FindWindow, SetForegroundWindow, ShowWindow and SendMessage, in
Win32.hlp)
