Restore Down

[Keylonta]

Hi!

Is there a script for restoring a window down (Restore down)?

It's to use with a program called Intelliremote which uses AutoItX v3 scripts.

@Keylonta  The help file is your friend. Look at WinSetState, specifically the Restore option.

I've also moved this to the appropriate forum, as the question has nothing to do with AutoItX. Please be mindful of where you post in the future

Thanks for your reply.

The Intelliremote user guide says "By default Intelliremote supports the 90+ AutoItX commands found in the AutoItX help file." But the help file is a AutoItX3 help file. What is the appropriate forum to post in?

 

When I tested the following 3 commands it says there is a problem with the command WINSETSATE: 'SW.RESTORE" is not a valid integer value.

WinSetState ("Untitled - Notepad", "", "SW_RESTORE")

WinSetState ("Untitled - Notepad", "", "{SW_RESTORE}")

WinSetState ("Untitled - Notepad", "", SW_RESTORE)

I have to put the " " around SW_RESTORE otherwise it doesn't turn blue. Any idea why it's not working?

 

Here are some examples of how other commands have to be to work with Intelliremote.

WinSetTitle ("Untitled - Notepad", "", "New Title")

Send ("{LEFT}",0)

MouseClick ("left" INTDEFAULT, INTDEFAULT, 1, 0)

MouseMove (1919, 0, 0)

 

This is what the help file says:

[badcoder123]

WinSetState ("Untitled - Notepad", "", "@SW_HIDE")
WinSetState ("Untitled - Notepad", "", "@SW_SHOW")

It says @SW_RESTORE is not a valid integer value.

I think this example is  incorrect.
This is not tested, as I remember I never use AutoItX, but try this:

Set oAutoIt = WScript.CreateObject("AutoItX3.Control")

oAutoIt.WinSetState "Untitled -", "", "SW_HIDE"
oAutoIt.Sleep 3000
oAutoIt.WinSetState "Untitled -", "", "SW_SHOW"

btw.
Why you are using AutoItX and at the same time you are posting example for standard version ?

It appears Intelliremote  can use AutoItX or compiled AutoIt scripts. See https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/66945-execute-au3-scripts-via-autoitx/#comment-508043
Also see https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/55863-intelliremote-and-autoitx/#comment-423719
and, https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/54219-delphi-wrapper-advanced/#comment-498528

Because @SW_HIDE and @SW_SHOW  are AutoIt3 language macros that result in 0 and 5, and if WinSetState has been tailored to work in Intelliremote, then try this script in Intelliremote.

Run("notepad.exe", "")
WinWaitActive("Untitled - Notepad", "", 0)
WinSetState("Untitled - Notepad", "", 0) ;  @SW_HIDE
Sleep(3000)
WinSetState("Untitled - Notepad", "", 5) ; @SW_SHOW

Thanks for the feedback everyone.

I don’t know anything about AutoIt, just starting out because of Intelliremote.

What is the difference between AutoItX and AutoIt?

I couldn’t get the AutoItX WinSetState scripts in the help file to work, so I tried modifying them to look like the script examples given in the Intelliremote user guide. Where can I find the help file for the standard version? That should have the correct WinSetState scripts that work with Intelliremote.

I figured it out. Restore down looks like this:

WinSetState ("Untitled - Notepad", "", 1)

0 = Closes program

1 = Restores down

2 = Minimizes

3 = Maximizes

I figured it out. Restore down looks like this:

WinSetState ("Untitled - Notepad", "", 1)

0 = Closes program

1 = Restores down

2 = Minimizes

3 = Maximizes

I figured it out. Restore down looks like this:

WinSetState ("Untitled - Notepad", "", 1)

0 = Closes program

1 = Restores down

2 = Minimizes

3 = Maximizes

I figured it out. Restore down looks like this:fkkkkhhhhhhhhhhhgggg

 

 

WinSetState ("Untitled - Notepad", "", 1)

0 = Closes program

1 = Restores down

2 = Minimizes

3 = Maximize

This is copied from the introduction of the AutoIt 'X' help file:-
"AutoIt v3 is a freeware BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the Windows GUI. ....

AutoItX is a DLL version of AutoIt v3 that provides a subset of the features of AutoIt via an ActiveX/COM and DLL interface. This means that you can add AutoIt-like features to your favourite scripting and programming languages, e.g. VB, VBScript, Delphi, C, C++, Kixtart, and most other languages that support the use of DLLs."

The AutoIt help file is found in the AutoIt install directory with the .chm file extension.  Or, while using SciTE, pressing F1 key on the text of a .au3 file will activate the AutoIt help file.

The following example is a workable .au3 file. Using the text editor SciTE, this .au3 file can be run within SciTE, or, compiled to run as an independent executable file.
(Note the returned values of the AutoIt macros in the message box :-
@SW_RESTORE returns 9,
@SW_MINIMIZE returns 6, and,
@SW_MAXIMIZE returns 3.)

MsgBox(0, "Some Macros", _
        "@SW_RESTORE returns   " & @SW_RESTORE & @CRLF & _  ; Returns 9
        "@SW_MINIMIZEE returns " & @SW_MINIMIZE & @CRLF & _ ; Returns 6
        "@SW_MAXIMIZE returns  " & @SW_MAXIMIZE & @CRLF)    ; Returns 3

They don't work with Intelliremote.

What version help file has the following script?

WinSetState ("Untitled - Notepad", "", 1)

That's the one I need.

The help file is in the "AutoIt Full Installation".   Download from here .
The "AutoIt Script Editor" (SciTE) I mentioned in my other post is also downloadable at the above link.

The current AutoIt help file is also online, where  the WinSetState() function can be viewed.

In your post #3, the image of the AutoItX WinSetState function help page has an example.  I got that example to work by saving that example as a .vbs file and running it as a VB script.

When you install the "AutoIt Full Installation" the AutoItX help file is found in the AutoItX subdirectory.
The AutoIt3 help file is found in the main AutoIt3 installation directory, and as mention in my post #9.  The example in post #9 is an  AutoIt3 (.au3) script, which can be run from SciTE, or, compile and run as a .exe file.
