Other windows and processes

[Rad 0]

I was just thinking about making a program that you could hide windows media player window (because I listen to it but it adds another button), then thought I usually have a window open I dont need the button for. So I want to make a program where you select a window and it lets you give it a stat (always on top, hidden, close etc)

But now I dont see a way to get a different windows name unless you know its title. Is there any way to list all the windows open or anything? Or at least have it so when you click "Set on top" it prompts you to select a window, then when you click a different window its on top?

What would be the easiest way to do this?

Try Winlist()

This will get every window name or class there is. It returns an array type value.

It doesn't return the class. To return the actual class of it you'd have to use the API GetClassName.

@Rad... What do you want to do again???? I'm lost.

Do you have a GUI already that says set it on top or something?

Sorry i havent messed with the program yet my lil bro's friend crashed our minibike into my moms 8mo old car and left a 4 foot long gash across the doors....<.< goodbye air conditioner...

but i was going to make a program where it had options to set to any window to set it on top, hide it, or force it close with winkill(), but I couldnt think of a way to get the windows names with WinExists() and didnt have much luck with the helpfile

but that winlist looks like it will work

Off-Topic : eynstyne, your avatar is classic!

On-Topic : Your question was hard to understand completely, but I think WinList() is what you are looking for. the best code to look at is the help file's tutorial for winlist, I tried making my own but it didnt work so well. If I were you I would get familiar with the command, but since I am not you I will direct you to a place where you can for yourself.

I think I can figure it out ^^

How do you get what the highest index of an array is? Since Winlist() puts the windows in an array I need to know the size for the loop

or, if theres another way I cant think of off hand, what is it?

Nevermind - I just found:

#include <Array.au3>

_ArrayMaxIndex ( $avArray[[, $iCompNumeric], $i_Base] )

Lets see how this works

Edit2:

$array[0][0] = Number of windows returned

thats right out of the winlist() :">
