From the Help File

WinSetState ( "title", "text", flag )

Parameters

text The text of the window to show.

flag The "show" flag of the executed program:

@SW_HIDE = Hide window

@SW_SHOW = Shows a previously hidden window

@SW_MAXIMIZE = Maximize window

@SW_RESTORE = Undoes a window minimization or maximization

I'm trying the same but WinSetState() or WinActivate() doesn't work on a minimized window... I can't "open" it...

winsetstate is working all fine on an minimized window oO

Not for me... :lmao:

I tryed these but nothing happens after minimizing all:

WinMinimizeAll()
Sleep(3000)
WinActivate("Total Commander")

WinMinimizeAll()
Sleep(3000)
WinSetState("Total Commander", "", @SW_RESTORE)

If the Total Commander window is not minimized but is not on top then WinActivate works. But if it is minimized then not...

I think this will work:

Winsetstate("Total Commander","",@SW_MAXIMIZE)

No... :lmao:

...and I don't want to maximize the window. It can be not maximized and I only want to "open" it but not change its size...

well but it should work all fine oO

maybe it's a bug or you made an syn.-error or something....

I tryed it with several of the latest betas and on both Win2K and WinXP...

How do you mean "syn.-error"? This 3 lines are the full code...

Sometimes theres an error in the Title (some people leave out a space or something non-trivial and spend an eternity trying to figure that out from the autoinfo tool)....

Try this code exactly like this: (I am assuming that your title is correct to you)

Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 2)
WinMinimizeAll()
Sleep(3000)
WinSetState('Total Commander', '', @SW_RESTORE)

Edit:

To Test this theory run this code with this window open:

If you are using FireFox:

WinMinimizeAll()
Sleep(2000)
WinSetState('etting a bot to open a minimized window? - AutoIt Forums - Mozilla Firefox', '', @SW_RESTORE)

If WinActive('etting a bot to open a minimized window? - AutoIt Forums - Mozilla Firefox') Then MsgBox(0, 'Active', 'My theory sucks')

Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 2)
WinMinimizeAll()
Sleep(2000)
WinSetState('etting a bot to open a minimized window? - AutoIt Forums - Mozilla Firefox', '', @SW_RESTORE)

If you are using IE:

WinMinimizeAll()
Sleep(2000)
WinSetState('etting a bot to open a minimized window? - AutoIt Forums - Microsoft Internet Explorer', '', @SW_RESTORE)

If WinActive('etting a bot to open a minimized window? - AutoIt Forums - Mozilla Firefox') Then MsgBox(0, 'Active', 'My theory sucks')

Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 2)
WinMinimizeAll()
Sleep(2000)
WinSetState('etting a bot to open a minimized window? - AutoIt Forums - Microsoft Internet Explorer', '', @SW_RESTORE)

Notice I left off the 'g' at the beginning of the title.

Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.

Thanks a lot! The problem is the following: there is a visible window with title "Total Commander 6.53 - ~company name~" but there is an invisible window too with title "Total Commander"... ;)

WinMinimizeAll()
Sleep(2000)
WinSetState('Total Commander 6.53', '', @SW_RESTORE)
^^^ This is working.

Here is my script I want to use this function in. (The script watches that there is a running process of Total Commander or not and if it is running then activates its window...) I corrected it and now it's working:

Func Tiltas( $ExeUt )
    If $alapb[5][1] = "0" Then
        $wintitle = 0
        $hatar = StringInStr( $ExeUt, "\", 0, -1 )
        $ExeNev = StringRight( $ExeUt, ( StringLen( $ExeUt ) - $hatar ) )
        $colProcesses = $objWMIService.ExecQuery( "Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = '" & $ExeNev & "'")
        For $objProcess in $colProcesses
            If $hatar = 0 Then
                $objpath = $ExeUt
            Else
                $objpath = $objProcess.ExecutablePath
            EndIf
            If ( $objProcess.GetOwner(@UserName) = 0 ) And ( $objpath = $ExeUt ) Then
                $PID = $objProcess.ProcessID
                $ProcList = WinList()
                For $i = 1 To $ProcList[0][0]
                    If BitAnd( WinGetState( $ProcList[$i][0] ), 2 ) And( $ProcList[$i][0] <> "" ) _
                       And ( StringLeft( $ProcList[$i][0], 7 ) <> "TRd ww:" ) Then
                        If WinGetProcess( $ProcList[$i][0] ) = $PID Then
                            Return( $ProcList[$i][0] ); return the window title
                        EndIf
                    EndIf
                Next
                Return Chr(149); ("") - the program is running but we can't find the window
            EndIf
        Next
    EndIf
    Return ""; the program is not running
EndFunc

;...

$tiltas = Tiltas( "c:\program files\totalcmd\totalcmd.exe" )
Select
    Case $tiltas = ""
; we do something (run the program)
    Case $tiltas = Chr(149)
; we do something (e.g. error message)
    Case Else
; we activate the window - this is interesting now
        WinActivate( $tiltas )
;MsgBox(0,'debug',$tiltas)
EndSelect

The solution is this line:

If BitAnd( WinGetState( $ProcList[$i][0] ), 2 ) And( $ProcList[$i][0] <> "" ) And ( StringLeft( $ProcList[$i][0], 7 ) <> "TRd ww:" ) Then;...

If I don't use BitAnd( WinGetState( $ProcList[$i][0] ), 2 ) then it doesn't work because the window title belongs to the invisible (hidden) window... :lmao:

Edit:

You need this to work correctly:

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 3); Exact match
