In this: $title = WinGetTitle(""") There are 3 quotes. Must be $title = WinGetTitle("") only 2 quotes

how bout the window-info? much easier when you just want to name the title of a window and don't need it in your prog

[ljkkda]

i need this because the window change the title again and again... and i need the actual title to minimize or maximize

[Nuffilein805]

lol, isn't there anything that stays as the title changes? e.g. in ie its "- internet explorer"

[ljkkda]

yes there is something but i dont know how to use this im a very very beginner

[Nuffilein805]

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2);to match any substring in the string

then you can use everything related to the wintitle

should be easy to build a script around this

yes that woks usually but if i have more windows with the same text always ?

so i have tryed this

$window = WinGetTitle("")

MsgBox(0,"",$window)

WinSetState("$window", "" , @SW_MINIMIZE)

WinSetState("$window", "" , @SW_MAXIMIZE)

but it wont minimize or maximize the window !!!!!!

try this 1:

$a = winlist ("your title")
for $i = 1 to $a[0][0] step 1
winsetstate ($a[$i], "", @sw_maximize
next

this should give you each window with the string in the title and maximize it

"active" matches the currently active window (same as "" in the default WinTitleMatchMode).

If you've matched the window once, grab its handle so you can reference the window again even if its title changes:

(from help file):

; Identify the Notepad window that contains the text "this one" and get a handle to it

; Change into the WinTitleMatchMode that supports classnames and handles
AutoItSetOption("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)

; Get the handle of a notepad window that contains "this one"
$handle = WinGetHandle("classname=Notepad", "this one")
If @error Then
    MsgBox(4096, "Error", "Could not find the correct window")
Else
   ; Send some text directly to this window's edit control
    ControlSend($handle, "", "Edit1", "AbCdE")
EndIf
