Window Checking

How to check and activate commands only when active window has specific words in them.

Windows that have different words in them sometimes like

Untitled - Notepad

Example1 - Notepad

Only when active window has Notepad in it?

Check the help file under "Window Titles and Text (Advanced)", and the CLASS or RegExpTitle specifications.

Thank you, got what I needed using this code

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

with

if WinActive("Chat Window","") = True Then

The only thing I don't like about that method is that changes to Opt() options are persistent, and as you write longer, more complicated scripts, that kind of thing gets to be painful to keep track of: "Why isn't is recognizing that window? Did I forget to switch WinTitleMatchMode back somewhere, again?"

Been there, done that.

Using the advanced specifications allows each reference to be self contained and independent of that kind of thing.

Ill take a look into that. Thank you. So far the Opt() is working for what I need at the moment but Ill take a look into it.
