RedneckTech Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 trying to activate a window. currently WinActivate is not working for me. WinActivate("title") WinWaitActive("Title") If Winactive = 0 Then _errortag("title") Exit EndIf ive put message boxes all through there, the program hits that loop, but never activates the window. ive tried getting it to run multiple ways. the window is open and already minimized to the taskbar. if there is a way to maximize and activate a window it would be much appreciated. even went so far as to start trying _WinAPI functions to no avail. unless you know how to send keystrokes/commands to a minimized window without activating it, this is a major cramp in the programming process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
