zanthal Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I'm very much a beginner script writer in Auto-It, FYI Is there a function or bit of script that, after changing to a certain window with WinActivate, will return to the previous window? Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This script gets the handle of the SciTE GUI and then waits for 5 secs. Just activate another window during this time and after the delay the SciTE GUI is activated again: $hCurrWin = WinGetHandle("[ACTIVE]") Sleep(5000) WinActivate($hCurrWin) All clear?
