A small problem

[Hello Me You 0]

My script has an inputbox, you type a window name in it and it hides the window. But when you press ctrl+alt+h (hotkey to the input box) and you press cancel, it hides the active window. How can I stop this?

HotKeySet("^!h", "_hide")
HotKeySet("^!u", "_unhide")
HotKeySet("^!#x", "_exit")

While 1
WEnd

Func _hide()
    $in_hide = InputBox("Hide Window", "Enter window title:")
    WinSetState($in_hide, "", @SW_HIDE)
EndFunc

Func _unhide()
    $in_unhide = InputBox("Unhide Window", "Enter window title:")
    WinSetState($in_unhide, "", @SW_SHOW)
EndFunc

Func _exit()
    $msg = MsgBox(1, "Exit Script", "Are you sure?")
    If $msg = 1 Then
        Exit
    EndIf
EndFunc

Hi,

make a GLOBAL variable to store the title otherwise ....

And put a sleep into your while wend.

So long,

not tested.. but it may work.

HotKeySet("^!h", "_hide")
HotKeySet("^!u", "_unhide")
HotKeySet("^!#x", "_exit")

While 1
WEnd

Func _hide()
    $in_hide = InputBox("Hide Window", "Enter window title:")
if $in_hide = "" then
return
else


    WinSetState($in_hide, "", @SW_HIDE)
endif
EndFunc

Func _unhide()
    $in_unhide = InputBox("Unhide Window", "Enter window title:")
    WinSetState($in_unhide, "", @SW_SHOW)
EndFunc

Func _exit()
    $msg = MsgBox(1, "Exit Script", "Are you sure?")
    If $msg = 1 Then
        Exit
    EndIf
EndFunc

Test the returned @error for the inputbox ...

Test the returned @error for the inputbox ...

that would also work. it will give an error if blank.

i just used code to check to see if the variable was blank...

either way will work. jdeb method would actually be better theres a couple of words less to code. lol

HotKeySet("^!h", "_hide")
HotKeySet("^!u", "_unhide")
HotKeySet("^!#x", "_exit")

While 1
WEnd

Func _hide()
    $in_hide = InputBox("Hide Window", "Enter window title:")
if @error  return
    WinSetState($in_hide, "", @SW_HIDE)
EndFunc

Func _unhide()
    $in_unhide = InputBox("Unhide Window", "Enter window title:")
    WinSetState($in_unhide, "", @SW_SHOW)
EndFunc

Func _exit()
    $msg = MsgBox(1, "Exit Script", "Are you sure?")
    If $msg = 1 Then
        Exit
    EndIf
EndFunc
