monte Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Hello, I have a tray menu and I want to activate the window that was active before I accessed the tray menu. How do I do this, is there a z order list I can access with winactivate, or something like that? Any help would greatly be appreciated, thanks. expandcollapse popup#include <IE.au3> #Include <Constants.au3> #NoTrayIcon ;;;;;;;;; ;hotkeys ;;;;;;;;; HotKeySet("^#b", "cmd") ;cmd prompt HotkeySet("^#c", "copy") ;copy ;;;;;; ;tray ;;;;;; Opt("TrayMenuMode",1) $cmd = TrayCreateItem("Cmd Prompt - Ctrl Win B") $copy = TrayCreateItem("Copy - Ctrl Win C") TrayCreateItem("") $exititem = TrayCreateItem("Exit") TraySetState() TraySetToolTip("Hotkeys") While 1 $msg = TrayGetMsg() Select Case $msg = 0 ContinueLoop Case $msg = $exititem ExitLoop Case $msg = $cmd cmd() Case $msg = $copy copy() EndSelect WEnd ;;;;;; ;CMD ;;;;;; func cmd() TraySetState(4) Run(@ComSpec & " /k color 02&prompt #&cls" & @cr) traysetstate(8) endfunc ;;;;;; ;Copy ;;;;;; func copy() ;activate previous window and copy what's selected ;winactivate ???? ;winwaitactive ??? sleep(100) send("^c", 0) sleep(100) msgbox(0, "Hotkeys", "You copied:" & @cr & stringstripws(ClipGet(), 8) endfunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monte Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 Well, that's a little anti-climactic! And here I was looking for something a little more difficult....hello captain obvious! Thanks, Nahuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsaltyDS Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Windows does keep track of the Z-order of previous windows. The array returned from WinList is in z-order. Based on that, I did a function called _WinPrevious(). It will let you go back 1 in the z-order by default, but can receive an integer to go back farther. If Alt-Tab covers all your bases, then it's still overkill, of course. Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...
