WinGetState Is Visible not working correctly ?

[IanN1990]

; Check if a new notepad window is Visible
Local $state = WinGetState("[CLASS:Notepad]", "")

; Is the "Visible" value set?
If BitAND($state, 2) Then
MsgBox(0, "Example", "Window is Visible")
endif

but it seams to run even if the window is minimized ?

Is this intended?

Minimized <> Visible. A window can be visible and minimized or visible and not minimized or hidden and minimized or hidden and not minimized...

; Check if a new notepad window is Visible
Local $state = WinGetState("[CLASS:Notepad]", "")

; Is the "minimized" value set?
If BitAND($state, 2) and not BitAND($state, 16) Then
    MsgBox(0, "Example", "Window is Visible and NOT minimized.")
endif

I consider "visible" as something you can see. I wouldn't of expected minimized to also count as visible . If i need two bitand statements, would the following be better ?

; Check if a new notepad window is Visible
Local $state = WinGetState("[CLASS:Notepad]", "")

; Is the "Visible" value set?
If $state = 7 or $state = 15 Then
MsgBox(0, "Example", "Window is Visible")
EndIf

7 = visible

15 = active

That would consider Maximized Notepad windows as "Not Visible".

Seams your right i never considered Maximized would make the code above fail.
