re-activate last active window...

[circcc]

Shortly,

1) window A is active.

2) run script(or, compiled exe) shorcut from start menu.

now, window A is not active.

3) how can I re-activate window A, other than ALT-TAB ? any function?

Hi,

WinActivate("titleOfWindowA")

Hi,

WinActivate("titleOfWindowA")

Window A means random window, so we don't know the title of window A.

Hi

Simulate ALT + TAB

Maybe it helps

Cheers!

You will need to put the active windows into an array then use Random.

You will need to put the active windows into an array then use Random.

And exactly how do you use Random to activate the previous active window?

I'm guessing that nobody has heard of anything called the "Z-Order" in windows? Take a look at GetNextWindow on MSDN.

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode",4)
$windowTitle = WinGetTitle("[ACTIVE]")
WinActivate($WinTitle)

PaulIA, use an array, then if a certain Au3 window is activated the array will get the last window before the AU3 window.

Please educate me. Show me some code that uses Random to activate the last active window.

WTF am I on about Random for? Must be thinking of something else. Ahh I got confused. He said

Sorry PaulIA.

No problem. I thought maybe you had discovered some new method for manipulating the Z-Order in Windows. Now that would be useful!

LOL

ALT + TAB still sounds better

[James]

Sure would of. I wish I could that would make me well known

Hummm

And if :

After ALT + TAB, get window name and minimize or whatever?

Sounds good?

this is not what i meant , if you press now and hold for a slit second the ALT+TAB you will see that a window appears with all the programms open listed , and it cannot be hide as it has no name ... , whatever if tis the best solution then it would sound perfect

Thanks Helge.

Finally, I got this working code.

$a = WinList()

For $i = 1 to $a[0][0]
        If $a[$i][0] <> "" AND BitAnd(WinGetState($a[$i][1]),2) Then ExitLoop
Next

WinActivate($a[$i][1])

While it looks like you have solved you problem - another option would be to start your script in a way that does not cause Window A to ever lose focus... You could start your script via an OS shortcut.

I could not make the above script of Circcc working.

I created a GUI with a few buttons to make the current active window move to a part of the screen (left, right, center, upperleft, upperright, leftdown, rightdown)

When I click on a GUI button I lose the focus of my active window.

How can I keep the focus on that window while clicking on a GUI button?
