I want to connect Desktopx Builder and Rainmeter.

Here's a thought. Don't know if its the correct one though. Make the button an icon then let that icon be the one you use to call up rainmeter. Just set the target accordingly. As for turning it off just right click on rainmeter and click close. Hope this helps or someone comes along with the correct way to do it.

Thanks Uvah, but I need the one button for switching on-off. It should be script button.

Okay ... try Pm- ing sVis or romanda. They are the scripting gurus.

Okay.Thanks.

Are you trying to shut rainmeter down or hide it?

Startign and shutting down can be easy.  taskkill APPNAME in a script can kill it and startign it is as easy as calling the EXE.

A two state script would handle that.

What ways are native to rainmeter for hiding/showing?

I am looking way to shut down rainmeter.

I understood what I have to do but I never use "KILL".

---"taskkill APPNAME in a script can kill it"- How to do script for that?

Thanks for replay. I am not sure that  I can make  it.

The taskkill command syntax: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb491009.aspx

Thanks,Zubaz. I will try.

Zubaz's link might do the trick... I've never tried it. Closing a program is, apparently, more complicated than running one.

From my script library - though it's a general script. Worked in Windows 7 for me just now to close explorer.exe so if you send this function the process name it should close it.

Function procKillProcess(strProcess)
    strComputer = "."
    Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
        & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

    Set colProcessList = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
        ("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = '" & strProcess & "'")

    For Each objProcess in colProcessList
        objProcess.Terminate()
    Next
End Function

Sorry Skarny. I didn't know. Now I do.

hehe no worries - I've flown pretty quietly under the radar the whole time

Nice to see you back skarnivorous!

Skarn to the rescue.

 You  don't have to kill it, just use Rainmeter.exe !Quit

Skarny, thanks. 

Thanks for all.
