Newbie: Opening and maximizing PowerDVD 4

[Ron]

To wait for the appearance of a window, use the "Wait for window" action, be sure to enter a sufficiently long time ( something like 5000 millisecond ) and check the "wait for window" checkbox.

If I'm not mistaken, PowerDVD has a setting to "Run Full Screen". Check that setting and then everytime it opens it will automatically be full screen. No need for second command.

I've got the Girder basics down. With my irman and remote, I'm making my computer do some basic stuff, including opening and closing PowerDVD (that getting started page really helped).

The PowerDVD video screen opens in a "restored" window. I want to open PowerDVD, and have it maximized (full screen). This may seem simple, especially since the keyboard shortcut for fullscreen is "z". This is where I run into my problem: I've made a multigroup with two commands where the first command runs PowerDVD, and the second presses "z" (targeted to PowerDVD). This does not work (I am guessing) because the z key is hit before PowerDVD is done loading. If I press the same button on my remote once PowerDVD is loaded, it goes to full screen mode. In effect, what I am looking for is a way to put a delay inbetween two commands in the same multigroup. Is this possible? Is there any other way to achieve what I want to do (nb - if I try setting PowerDVD to run in a maximized window, from Girder or a Windows shortcut, it crashes)?

If it matters, I am running Girder 3.0.25

One other thing: How can I make Girder press enter (play in PowerDVD)?

Thanks.

Ben
