Kovacic Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> Example() Func Example() ; Run Notepad Run("notepad.exe") ; Wait 10 seconds for the Notepad window to appear. Local $hWnd = WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", 10) ; Retrieve the state of the Notepad window using the handle returned by WinWait. Local $iState = WinGetState($hWnd) ; Check if the Notepad window is minimized and display the appropriate message box. If BitAND($iState, 16) Then MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Notepad is minimized and the state returned by WinGetState was - " & $iState) Else MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "Notepad isn't minimized and the state returned by WinGetState was - " & $iState) EndIf ; Close the Notepad window using the handle returned by WinWait. WinClose($hWnd) EndFunc ;==>Example The above example is provided in the docs, yet when I run it, no matter what state the window is in, I get -23 as the status. I also tried making a custom scrit to test diff states, but still get the same result. ( I used code from the example above) #include <MsgBoxConstants.au3> Run("notepad.exe") global $hWnd = WinWait("[CLASS:Notepad]", "", 10) HotKeySet("{F10}", "Example") HotKeySet("{F11}", "Kill") while 1 ; wend Func Example() $iState = WinGetState($hWnd) MsgBox(0, "", "the state returned by WinGetState was - " & $iState) EndFunc func kill() WinClose($hWnd) exit endfunc I'm sure I am missing something here, but is there maybe a UDF that handles this better, or some example code someone has to make this easier?

Moderators Melba23 Posted September 22, 2014 Moderators Share Posted September 22, 2014 Kovacic,The example works perfectly for me - the function returns 23 when minimized, 47 when maximized and 15 when neither.

BrewManNH Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 BTW, you're not getting -23, you're getting 23, the hyphen is in the text for the message box.

Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

Kovacic Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 BTW, you're not getting -23, you're getting 23, the hyphen is in the text for the message box. HA! I feel like an idjit.. I really have no idea why this is happening then. I have had similar problems with the computers in my work environment. There has to be something in windows causing this then. I appreciate your time then. Much thanks! C0d3 is P0etry( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
