WinActive and other questions

[AliOzturk]

Hello this is somehow a continuation of my previous thread.

Issue/Question 1#

WinActive - Is it not working or am i'm doing something wrong?

I tried the provided test code :

If WinActive("[CLASS:Notepad]") Then
    MsgBox(0, "", "Window was active")
EndIf

but i didn't receive any msgbox.

Then i tried with my own code :

If WinActive("[CLASS:Notepad]") Then
WinSetState("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", @SW_MINIMIZE)
Sleep(1000)
WinSetState("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
EndIf

and still same result, nothing happends - whats wrong?

Issue/Question 2#

When using WinSetState to SetState to @SW_MAXIMIZE it doesn't go into this window.

Like if i wanted a quick way to open and write into Notepad then i want it to open so i can start typing without need of clicking on it to like .. focus it.

Example : Try open up notepad and then click somewhere else than on the notepad.

or its pretty much like WinSetOnTop

Issue/Question 2#

Is it possible to check if @SW_MAXIMIZE = true then execute a command and make an else function?

For example: (not working i know, just an example)

if "WinSetState("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)" = true then
Sleep(1000)
else
MsgBox(.....)
EndIf

Issue #1

Is the notepad window active when the code is ran? Try this

If WinActivate("[CLASS:Notepad]") Then
WinSetState("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", @SW_MINIMIZE)
Sleep(1000)
WinSetState("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
EndIf

Or put a sleep in before WinActive to give you some time to make the notepad window active....

Issue #2

You need to use WinGetState. Use something like this

$value = WinGetState("[CLASS:Notepad]")
if BitAnd($value, 32) then
MsgBox(0,"WinSize","Notepad window is maximized")
else
MsgBox(0,"WinSize","Notepad window is not maximized")
EndIf
