Hello all,

I'm trying to figure out how to do this, maybe some of you could help me out.

My goal is to open a program if he is closed, and close it if he is opened... with the same gesture.
Do you think this is possible?

Thanks in advance

The easiest was would be finding the window by its class name or using a wildcard on its title:
--local swnd = acFindWindow("Notepad",nil) --this line would match on exact class name
local swnd = acFindWindowByTitleRegex(".* - Notepad") --finds by title wildcard
if swnd > 0 then
	acCloseApplication(swnd)
else
	acRunProgram("c:\\windows\\notepad.exe","",0, 1)
end
