WinGetTitle("") returns the active window's title.

$ActiveWindow = WinGetTitle("")
MsgBox(262144,'Debug line ~23','Selection:' & @lf & '$ActiveWindow' & @lf & @lf & 'Return:' & @lf & $ActiveWindow & @lf & @lf & '@Error:' & @lf & @Error) ;### Debug MSGBOX
  Select
      Case $ActiveWindow = $a
           ; test case one
          $ExitCode = DoFunctionOne()
          Exit $ExitCode
      Case $ActiveWindow = $b
           ; test case two
          $ExitCode = DoFunctionTwo()
          Exit $ExitCode
      Case Else
          ; bomb
          Exit 5000

I'm always getting a neumeric one. It should be returning the name of the SciTE window. Any other reliable way to do this?

Guess you could try this:

MsgBox(0,'', _WinGetActive())

Func _WinGetActive()
    $OptWSC = Opt('WinSearchChildren', 1)
    $aWinList = WinList()
    For $iCount = 1 To $aWinList[0][0]
        If $aWinList[$iCount][0] <> '' And WinActive($aWinList[$iCount][0]) Then
            Opt('WinSearchChildren', $OptWSC)
            Return $aWinList[$iCount][0]
        EndIf
    Next
    Opt('WinSearchChildren', $OptWSC)
    Return 0
EndFunc

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4)
Opt("WinSearchChildren",1)
WinGetTitle("active")

you do plenty of easy things, in as difficult a fashion as you're able.
