Tell if a GUI is hidden overall?

[Gui]

Aye guys. Just want to know if you could just see if a GUI is hidden overall ( Minimized to Taskbar, or inside the tray.) ; WINGetState , 2 = Window is visable. So I want 'Not 2'

I've tried :

$state = WinGetState ($Form1)   
    If BitAND($state, Not 2) Then  ; Window is Not visable overall. - Doesn't work.
        GUISetState(@SW_RESTORE)
        Sleep(2500)
    EndIf

Would you use BitNOT? Sorry i'm new to Bit___ stuff. Help is appreciated. Thanks!

Regards,

GUI

This might work, I haven't tested it yet..

$state = WinGetState ($Form1)
If NOT BitAND($state, 2) Then
 GUISetState(@SW_RESTORE)
 Sleep(2500)
EndIf

 GUISetState(@SW_RESTORE)
 Sleep(2500)
EndIf

Thanks for the help! Didn't think of that. Sorry but it didn't work. : ( Thanks though!

Hmm. Oh well. I might have a use for something like this, but I can't do anything right now. If I come up with something later, I'll post some code that actually works!

If you want to check if it's minimized then

Run("Notepad.exe")
Sleep(2000)
While 1
    If Not WinExists("Untitled") Then Exit
    $state = WinGetState("Untitled")
    If BitAND($state, 16) Then ; Window is minimized.
        WinSetState("Untitled", "", @SW_RESTORE)
 EndIf

 Sleep(2500)
WEnd

Yeah but the thing is, what if it's minimized to tray as well ? It will only see if it's minimized to task bar. That's why i'm trying to see if it's generally NOT visable. (So it could be minimized or in system tray. )

#Include <WinAPI.au3>
HotKeySet("q","visible")
func visible()
    $pos=WinGetPos("AutoIt Help","")
    if $pos[0]=-32000 or _WinAPI_IsWindowVisible(WinGetHandle("AutoIt Help",""))=0 Then
        ConsoleWrite("can't see me"&@CRLF)
    Else
        ConsoleWrite("Here I am"&@CRLF)
    EndIf
EndFunc
While 1
sleep(100)
WEnd

Worked beautifully thanks!

You originally asked to know if the window is minimized or in the tray. In the tray might mean the window is hidden but minimized to the task bar does not. So you need to check for both conditions.

Run("Notepad.exe")
Sleep(2000)
winsetstate("Untitled","",@SW_HIDE)
sleep(1000)
While 1
    If Not WinExists("Untitled") Then Exit
    $state = WinGetState("Untitled")
    If BitAND($state, 16) or NOT BitAnd($state,2) Then ; Window is minimized or not visible
        WinSetState("Untitled", "", @SW_SHOW)
        wiNSETSTATE("Untitled", "", @SW_restore)
    EndIf
    Sleep(200)
WEnd
