Focus on Chrome if GUI is active.

I'm still trying to convert my ahk scripts to au3. :)

I can't find out how to give focus to my Chrome window (or whatever window) if my GUI (created in autoit) is active.

Did I miss something?

This is my code:

WinActivate("[CLASS:Chrome_WidgetWin_1]")
WinWaitActive("[CLASS:Chrome_WidgetWin_1]")

It activates Chrome but does not give it focus when my GUI is still visible or minimized at the taskbar.

I see the Chrome window in front of me but I have to click in it to give it focus, 

(same if I only use the first line (WinActivate without WinWaitActive))

1) How can I give focus to the chrome window in above case?

2) When chrome is minimized on the taskbar above code does not activate chrome.

    Is there a way to activate chrome when it is on the taskbar?

    

    I tried this code but it didn't work: 
WinSetState("[CLASS:Chrome_WidgetWin_1]", "", @SW_SHOW)

What do you mean?

Does your GUI have the TOPMOST exstyle?

Try this:

#include <Constants.au3>

AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", $OPT_MATCHANY) ;2

WinActivate("[TITLE: - Google Chrome;CLASS:Chrome_WidgetWin_1]")
If it does not work try the _WinAPI_SetWindowPos function with the $HWND_TOP/$HWND_TOPMOST parameter.

Br, FireFox.

It does work (WinActivate("[TITLE: - Google Chrome;CLASS:Chrome_WidgetWin_1]")

Thank you very much.  :thumbsup:
