Link two windows

[Reinhardt1julian]

I have two seperate windows (GUIs). Now i want to link them, that they both get minimized when you minimize the "main" one and get maximized when you maximize one of them. The perfect way would be that only the "main" window has a thing down on the task bar (i don't know the exact word the thing next to the windows startmenu where all the running programs are displayed. It has the clock)

You will need to monitor the window positions and states as well. This is what I do for SciTE Jump when SciTE Jump is docked to ScITE. Alt + Q in ScITE or check my signature for GPLv3 code, yes, it's open source.

If i press Alt + Q in ScITE nothing happenes. And I can't find GPLv3 in your signature. Where is it?

You need SciTE4AutoIt3 for it took work and GLPv3 is a license agreement for opensource applications. The app is called SciTE Jump, but if you install SciTE4AutoIt3 (new version) then you can use Alt + Q.

I'm not that in-depth of autoit... now how do i monitor the window?

[guinness]

Loops, WinGetPos, WinMove. This should get you started, look in the help file for more details about these functions and good luck.

Just to let you know, the name for that thing in the task bar near the clock is the "tray" or "tray menu". Hence you can disable the Tray Icon in your AutoIt script (#NoTrayIcon)
