Switching to a window that is minimized in the taskbar

[parkswalker]

I am trying to switch to a window that minimizes to the taskbar (near the clock on the right). Even when the window is minimized, the Windows task manager shows the application running under the Applications tab. I want to make the window active, ie bring it up, and then manipulate the data in it. I cannot get it to become the active window for some reason. The program can have multiple instances, which I dont want, so I cannot shell execute it without possibly opening multiple instances of the program. Is there a function that will pull this up? he name of the program is called AutoBatch under the applications tab in the task manager and is called auto-settle.exe in the installation directory.

Hi,
-If the window is minimized, use the WinActivate function.
-If the window is not visible, use the WinSetState function with the @SW_SHOW macro.

Edit: WinGetState to WinSetState.

Br, FireFox.

Not sure how to use the macro. I have:

WinGetState("AutoBatch")

Where do I put it?

My bad, it's WinSetState.

e.g: WinSetState("mytitle", "", @SW_SHOW)

WinSetState("Auto-Settle","",@SW_SHOW)
WinSetState("Auto-Settle","",@SW_RESTORE)
WinActivate("Auto-Settle","")

Worked. Thanks.
