Window Hider Pro early stage

[Vicks]

well i made a quick gui-less script, took me less then a minute but it's useful, i plan make more of them with a GUI with more advance options such as telling certain windows to hide and winkiller which will exit the current window or windows, great for kids to hide stuff from paents which i really don't need but oh well, and pretty easy to use

#NoTrayIcon
HotKeySet("{F1}", "MinimizeAll")
HotKeySet("{F2}" , "Showall")
HotKeySet("{Esc}" , "ForceExit")

While 1
    Sleep(1)
    WEnd

Func MinimizeAll()
    WinMinimizeAll()
EndFunc


Func Showall()
WinMinimizeAllUndo()
EndFunc

Func ForceExit()
    Exit
    EndFunc

It is a script that will come useful sometimes. lol

one thing:

don't use F1 as a hotkey, programs use that as a help hotkey. so if u have a window open, and press f1, it is going to open the help file...

I was gonna say that

Someone released one that could have 2 seperate windows, minimize/maximize them seperately. They were sent to the sys tray.

Not to be negative about your script, but isn't this the same as win+D?

Hey! I've been working on something similar, but this one hides the windows after you've selected which windows you'd like hidden.

I also have another program that has hotkeys bound to hide windows and mute sound.

expandcollapse popup

#notrayicon
Global $hotkeys
HotKeySet("+!z", "Safe")
HotKeySet("5", "Volume")
HotKeySet("{NUMPADSUB}", "Kill")

While 1
    sleep(100)
WEnd

Func Kill()
    Exit
EndFunc

Func Volume(); Volume for music
    SoundSetWaveVolume(0)
    WinSetState("Gmail -", "", @SW_MINIMIZE)
    WinSetState("Yahoo", "", @SW_MINIMIZE)
    WinSetState("http://", "", @SW_MINIMIZE)
    WinSetState("http://", "", @SW_MINIMIZE)
    WinSetState("http://", "", @SW_MINIMIZE)
    WinSetState("http://", "", @SW_MINIMIZE)
    WinSetState("Game", "", @SW_MINIMIZE)
    WinSetState("Gmail -", "", @SW_HIDE)
    WinSetState("Yahoo", "", @SW_HIDE)
    WinSetState("Game", "", @SW_HIDE)
    WinSetState("http://", "", @SW_HIDE)
    WinSetState("http://", "", @SW_HIDE)
    WinSetState("http://", "", @SW_HIDE)
    WinSetState("http://", "", @SW_HIDE)
EndFunc

Func Safe()
    SoundSetWaveVolume(100)
    WinSetState("Parcel", "", @SW_SHOW)
    WinSetState("Gmail -", "", @SW_SHOW)
    WinSetState("Yahoo", "", @SW_SHOW)
    WinSetState("http://", "", @SW_SHOW)
    WinSetState("http://", "", @SW_SHOW)
    WinSetState("http://", "", @SW_SHOW)
    WinSetState("http://", "", @SW_SHOW)
    WinSetState("Game", "", @SW_SHOW)
EndFunc

Eventually, I'm hoping to combine the two so that one would be able to select which windows to be hidden, then have that command bound to a hotkey.

yes but this should open up in a gui because when you compile it you can't set the windows no more

wow i made 3 post in here already about your guys comments and suggestions. this one is for "chris" & "gamepin" i though about this also but well testing it in scite i push f1 and the helpfile didn't pop up so i think we are good.

[jvanegmond]

make something that can hide windows individually and when you press Control Down or Control Up, a GUI pops up somewhere with titles that you want to show, and you can select them with Ctrl Up + down.
