AutoIT tray icon stealing focus.

[photonbuddy]

Hi All,

I have been working on a script, but I am having a problem.

I want to first check if a window is active before proceeding to run the rest of the script. Problem is, AutoIT tray icon steals focus, so the window is not active when I test for it.

Is there any way around this?

Do you mean like

If WinActive("TITLE") = 0 Then

WinActivate("TITLE")

EndIf

?

Kinda. I have a script assigned to one of the buttons on my multimedia keyboard that does some funky stuff if it doesn't operate within the intended window, so I want something like this:

If WinActive("TITLE") = 0 Then

Exit

Endif

But the window loses it's active status when the script runs

Any ideas? Anyone?

I find it weird that the "AutoIT tray icon stealing focus", but anyway..

You could try to add the following command to the top of your script :

#NoTrayIcon

Good luck !

Thanks for the suggestion. Sadly, focus still leaves the main program, although the tray icon doesn't show.

I have a sneaking suspician it may be the keyboard driver software that takes focus away when a program is launched from a hotkey

Will keep trying to figure it out.
