If you want some help you should post some example code you are working with. Don't expect people to write code for you.

thxs jerk, now nobody will post any code

I dont want to post my lame code, because I am trying to learn

you have just made it harder for me

Its not lame code if you are learning, it may not be the best code but its not lame if you are honestly trying to learn.

First rule of the web, never be embarrassed by your code! we all had to learn at one time and we all wrote garbage in the beginning.

I WANT TO SEE HOW OTHERS WOULD TACKLE THIS CODE

I dont want my code to influence this thread.

Maybe you made it harder for yourself. I encourage you to try producing some code.

You don't get big muscles asking someone else to pick up weights for you and it's no different with mental skills.

Func activate1()

$windows = WinList()

For $i=1 to $windows[0][0]

$title = $windows[$i][0]

$position = WinGetPos($title,"")

if $position[1] = 5 Then

WinActivate($title,"")

EndIf

Next

EndFunc

Func activate2()

$x = WinList()

For $i = 1 to $x[0][0]

$title = $x[$i][0]

$position = WinGetPos($title,"")

If $position[1] = 500 Then

WinActivate($title,"")

Sleep(2000)

MsgBox(0,"","")

EndIf

Next

EndFunc

I would have put it all in one function, and used handles instead of the titles, much more reliable that way. If more than one window has the same title, your code will not necessarily get the right one.

Func _Activate()
    Local $windows = WinList(), $avPosition
    For $i = 1 To $windows[0][0]
        $avPosition = WinGetPos($windows[$i][1], "")
        If $avPosition[1] = 5 Then
            WinActivate($windows[$i][1])
        ElseIf $avPosition[1] = 500 Then
            WinActivate($windows[$i][1])
            Sleep(2000)
            MsgBox(0, "", "")
        EndIf
    Next
EndFunc   ;==> _Activate

I am sympathetic to the idea of not posting lame code, but you should get over that (I did, and have posted lots of lame stuff).

The best help I have received or given on this forum has come from specific analysis of specific code.

If you expect to continue getting help here, the "Jerk" stuff will have to be dropped. There are other, more juvenile, sites you can practice that kind of "learning".

Edit: Typo.
