Paradox Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 What command do I use to show the desktop?What do you mean? You want to do something similar to the "Show Desktop" quick launch button in WinXP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skafreak_510 Posted October 14, 2005 Author Share Posted October 14, 2005 I mean 'send ("{LWIN} + D")' but how do I make it so the '+' plus not shift? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradox Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 I mean 'send ("{LWIN} + D")' but how do I make it so the '+' plus not shift?Nah man, w0uter's got the most effective way... send("#d"). For yours to work, it would probably have to be something like send("{LWIN} & D") although i could be wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDod Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 minimizing is diffent then giving focus to the desktop What you and Cyberslug suggested both do exactly the same thing.

herewasplato Posted October 14, 2005 Share Posted October 14, 2005 What you and Cyberslug suggested both do exactly the same thing.They only "do exactly the same thing"......if you can get send("#d") to do anything at all.Some users disable "Windows+X hotkeys".WinMinimizeAll() will work on those systems.Using send("#d") might affect your script portability.XP Tweak UI >> Explorer >> settings >> "Enable Windows+X hotkeys"Later....

CyberSlug Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 minimizing is diffent then giving focus to the desktop My testing indicates that WinMinimizeAll does give focus to the desktop the same way that pressing Win+D or clicking the "Show Desktop.desklink" icon do.(At least on Windows XP SP2.)

LxP Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Mine doesn't -- try having something like a file dialogue open and compare the two results.If I could figure out how to wrap this information into an AutoIt call then I'd win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinMonk Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Hi, I tried using all these but couldn't navigate to desktop. Can someone help? WinMinimizeAll() Send("{LWIIN}+d") Send("{#}+d"} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers Jos Posted October 14, 2022 Developers Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) mmm 16 years old thread .... 21 minutes ago, WinMonk said: Send("{LWIIN}+d") Pretty sure there's a typo in there.... and guess you need to reread the helpfile page. Try this for WindowsKey+d Send("#d") or Send("{LWINDOWN}d{LWINUP}") Edited October 14, 2022 by Jos SciTE4AutoIt3 Full installer Download page - Beta files Read before posting How to post scriptsource Forum etiquette Forum Rules Live for the present, Dream of the future, Learn from the past.
