Hi people,
I think this is an old question but I didn't find anything to solve my
problem.
I'm trying to write a routine in IDL that I want to use like a script.
So, in scheduled tasks I want to execute this routine 1 time per day
USING the virtual machine of IDL.
The problem is that the virtual machine opens a window with the cover
of IDL with the message PRESS CLICK TO CONTINUE.
My question is if there is a way to skip this window. Anyone had this
problem before ?
Thanks in advance,
Bernat

In Linux, I have done it using xautomation. More specifically, for
console applications I use Xvfb to create a virtual X server of the
size of the splash screen, then xte (from xautomation) to make a click
on the proper coordinates. The Xvfb server is made the size of the
splash screen so that the button always is at the same coordinates,
and it is not necessary to search for it with visgrep.
I put everything in a script to launch Xvfb, set the display variable,
launch the runtime application, call xte to click, then kill the Xvfb
server at the end. I copy the Xvfb and xte binaries into the
distribution directory, so that it does not depend on those being
installed where the program is used.

Hi,
I not sure that what you're trying to do is legal. The pop-up message disappears if you buy an IDL license. But this is none of my business :-)
That said, I think that what you're looking for is the spawn command in idl.
In your case, it would look something like this (not tested!):
spawn, myPath+'sendKeys.bat "Runtime APP" "{ENTER}"', res, errRes
You will find the result of the action in res and if an error occurred, it will pop up in errRes.
Enjoy.
Helder
