the return value of this window is different than that is in the help file

[jacky998877]

 

While 1
    $minmax_state =WinGetState("TechPowerUp GPU-Z 2.52.0")
    if $minmax_state == 7 Then
        ToolTip("maximized and in the background",0,0)
    elseif $minmax_state == 15 Then
        ToolTip("maximized and in the foreground",0,0)
    elseif $minmax_state == 21 Then
        ToolTip("minimized to the tray",0,0)
    EndIf
WEnd

the return value of this window is weired,  it is not correspondent to the help file,in the help file the value is 16
$WIN_STATE_MINIMIZED (16) = Window is minimized
but this window returns 21 ,but when i try to set it to
WinSetState("TechPowerUp GPU-Z 2.52.0","",21) it will not minimize ,
neither wil i set it to  WinSetState("TechPowerUp GPU-Z 2.52.0","",16)

21=16+4+1

So the window has those 3 states.

Ensure you are send the state to the correct window as there could be multiple windows with that same title.

try this and play with "TechPowerUp GPU-Z 2.52.0" win

While 1
    $minmax_state = WinGetState("TechPowerUp GPU-Z 2.52.0")

    ConsoleWrite( "WinGetState = " & $minmax_state& @CRLF)

    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

um........when i minimize and maximize the window, the tooltip will change its state, that is how i know it is the corresponding window

Ok...  I ve downloaded that util and this seems to work fine for me:

#RequireAdmin
$minmax_state = WinGetState("TechPowerUp GPU-Z 2.52.0")
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $minmax_state = ' & $minmax_state & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
WinSetState("TechPowerUp GPU-Z 2.52.0", "", @SW_MINIMIZE

So...   you need to send @SW_MINIMIZE  (6) to it with WinSetState().
