Run script only if windows is not minimized

[makolosz]

I wanted to change my current script that is running when the pc is idle to the state when a certain window is not minmized. It might be also not in tray, but not active/not active state.

Current script:

#include <Timers.au3> global $i = 0 While $i < 1 sleep(8000) $idletime = _Timer_GetIdleTime()    If $idletime > 7000 Then    MsgBox(0, "idle time", $idletime)    $i = $i + 1    Else    Exit WEnd

How can I make such an if?

You need to change your current script by adding line breaks. 

#include <Timers.au3>
Global $i = 0

While $i < 1
    sleep(8000)
    $idletime = _Timer_GetIdleTime()
    If $idletime > 7000 Then
        MsgBox(0, "idle time", $idletime)
        $i = $i + 1
    Else
        Exit
    EndIf
WEnd

And a "EndIf".

Though I don't know what it does.

simple example, assumes no notepad is open, prior to run:

Run("Notepad.exe")
AdlibRegister("PauseIfMinimized")

While True
    ConsoleWrite("Notepad is not minimized!" & WinGetState("[CLASS:Notepad]") & @CRLF)
    Sleep(500)
WEnd

Func PauseIfMinimized()
    While BitAND(WinGetState("[CLASS:Notepad]"),16)
        ConsoleWrite("Notepad is minimized!" & @CRLF)
        Sleep(500)
    WEnd
EndFunc

Ok, I guess it's all about using function WinGetState(). But it's not notepad in my case - how should I use it? I try full name, partial or class of that window and I get 0 for $state = WinGetState("$windowname", ""), and sometimes I get 23 or 7, which I do not understand - these are not even in the manual:

1 = Window exists
    2 = Window is visible
    4 = Window is enabled
    8 = Window is active
    16 = Window is minimized
    32 = Window is maximized
    
Failure:     Returns 0 and sets @error to 1 if the window is not found.

If BitAND(WinGetState("[CLASS:Notepad]"), 16) Then
    ; Do stuff if notepad is minimized.
EndIf

Sorry but I do not understand. In my case it's some app window that I want to check for being minimized. As I run a check for that variable I never get 16 most of the time 7.

What is the name of the app?

I tried even with windows calculator and entered Kalkulator or Calcframe, what could code 7 stand for?

It stands for the name of your app, that you are not saying what it is.

I ask again - what is the name of the app?

When you get 23, it's telling you that the window is minimized, window is visible and and the window exists. 16 + 4 + 2 + 1 = 27. When you get 7 it's telling you that the window is enabled, visible and it exists. 4 + 2 + 1 = 7. It's simple math.

And you use BitAND to determine if a certain flag is true.

BitAND($iRetFromWinGetState, $iFlag)
