Keeping a window active

[BeBoP]

Basicly i have two games open (both windowed) and when I switch from one to the other the previous one becomes minimized my question is if its possible to keep them both up at the some time. I don't want either of them to have a top most attribute and I would like to switch between the both of them without the other minimizing.

WinGetState should do the trick. Have a loop that looks to see if the window gets minimized. When it does, use WInSetState to put it back.

Thanks vollyman. That idea doesn't work as when the other window is up the first one gets countinally minimized so the script keeps on trying to put it up which creates a confilct and everything ceses to function.

I was thinking more along the lines of locking the window as visible.

I tried this:

$WinName = InputBox("", "Input window name.")
$state = WinGetState($WinName, "")
while 1
If BitAnd($state, 16) Then
    WinSetState($WinName, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
EndIf
WEnd

I dunno why it won't work.

I tried this:

$WinName = InputBox("", "Input window name.")
$state = WinGetState($WinName, "")
while 1
If BitAnd($state, 16) Then
    WinSetState($WinName, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
EndIf
WEnd

WinGetState is outside of your loop, so $state never changes.

Oh, haha thanks.

$WinName = InputBox("", "Input window name.")
while 1
$state = WinGetState($WinName, "")
If BitAnd($state, 16) Then
    WinSetState($WinName, "", @SW_RESTORE)
EndIf
WEnd

This works, I'm gonna use it
