souldjer777 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Hi all, I have a strange issue... we have a ticker that displays the latest info 24x7... Problem is - when someone updates the ticker - it automatically minimizes itself. How can I keep autoit running in the taskbar to monitor and then maximize this window / program if it's ever minimized. This ticker shows us vital information so we need it displayed 24x7 Thanks yall! I checked your forums and couldn't find anything like this... sry if I'm being ri-donk-ulus "Maybe I'm on a road that ain't been paved yet. And maybe I see a sign that ain't been made yet"Song Title: I guess you could sayArtist: Middle Class Rut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted November 2, 2011 Moderators Share Posted November 2, 2011 souldjer777,Something along these lines should work: #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> $hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 500, -1, -1, BitOr($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_GUI, $WS_MAXIMIZEBOX)) GUICtrlCreateLabel("Try to minimize me!", 10, 10, 400, 400) GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 48) GUISetState() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch ; See if the GUI is minimized If BitAND(WinGetState($hGUI), 16) Then ; And maximize it if it was WinSetState($hGUI, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE) EndIf WEndRemember that if you do not have a GUI you will need a Sleep(10) in the loop in place of the GUIGetMsg so you do not max out the CPU.
