How To If Winactive check for 2 different programs are active

[JamesHustle]

 

 

I have a hotkey script and it runs on ifwinactive and it will do XYZ but I cant figure out how to have it lookout for 2 separate programs

 

 If WinActive('[CLASS:AE_CApplication_15.1]','Chrome - Chromium')

doenst work. but they work on their own

i.e.

 If WinActive('Chrome - Chromium') - works

 If WinActive('[CLASS:AE_CApplication_15.1]') - works

 

how can I have it look out for both?

I initially thought this worked cause well it performed the action when I tested it but what I failed to test was if it DOES NOT perform the action if those windows arent active and well this or seems to nullify the 'IF winactive" statement and just triggers the action no matter what when called from hotkey

 

this is my exact script Im working with.

 

 

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>

HotKeySet("{NUMPADADD}", "ENABLE")

While 1
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

Func ENABLE()
    If WinActive('Chrome - Chromium') Or ('[CLASS:AE_CApplication_15.1]')   Then
       Switch @HotKeyPressed
       Case "{NUMPADADD}"

                 $iPID = Run("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL mmsys.cpl,,1", @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE)



                  AutoItSetOption("MouseCoordMode",2)
                  WinWaitActive("[CLASS:#32770]", "", 10)
                  MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_RIGHT, 83, 106,1, 0)
                  send('E')

                  Sleep(100)
ProcessClose($iPID)

        Case "{NUMPADADD}"

           Exit
        EndSwitch
     Else
         HotKeySet(@HotKeyPressed)
        Send(@HotKeyPressed)
        HotKeySet(@HotKeyPressed, "ENABLE")
    EndIf
 EndFunc

I don't understand the reason for all this hotkey management. Isn't this enough ?

#include <AutoItConstants.au3>

HotKeySet("{NUMPADADD}", "ENABLE")

While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func ENABLE()
    If WinActive('Chrome - Chromium') Or ('[CLASS:AE_CApplication_15.1]')   Then
                 $iPID = Run("rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL mmsys.cpl,,1", @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE)

                  AutoItSetOption("MouseCoordMode",2)
                  WinWaitActive("[CLASS:#32770]", "", 10)
                  MouseClick($MOUSE_CLICK_RIGHT, 83, 106,1, 0)
                  send('E')

                  Sleep(100)
                  ProcessClose($iPID)
     EndIf
EndFunc

If WinActive('Chrome - Chromium') Or ('[CLASS:AE_CApplication_15.1]')   Then

should be

If WinActive('Chrome - Chromium') Or WinActive('[CLASS:AE_CApplication_15.1]') Then ; Are you sure that's an OR and not an AND?
                                                                                    ; The condition to continue with the script is that
                                                                                    ; OR a Window is active, OR another one it is?

And, I agree with @mikell

I've been using this setup for a long while now, Never had any issues, I remember running it your version and a few others way but I used to run into issues like the script eating up alot of resources such as memory, or hijacking the key so its not usuable anymore etc, and with this way I never ran into those issues again.

thanks lol another simple error I overlooked, and yes its OR, yeah the condition to continue is on that winactive. What this script does is simple enable my microphone with a single hotkey when Im in 2 certain programs cause thats all i need the mic for, and I also have a disable script which is basically the same thing just to disable. 

 

and i answered why I use all the hotkey management above.  Basically its what worked for me when I first started without issue so I stuck with it.
