Hide Notepad but keeping it activated for text input

[Kevin]

Better not to hide the window incase something goes wrong . if function/macro errors window will remain hidden .Use minimize and restore instead
here is a quick example of getting clipboard text and transferring it to notepad
this function will run in the background and transfer text copied from the clipboard to notepad window.

Function CopyClipboardToNotepadExample

Code:

int w=win("" "Notepad")
int c=id(15 w) ;;editable text 'Text Editor'
