matthewgutz Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Hello, i just recently started to use autoit and it's AWESOME!!! I've made a few simple programs that do random stuff, but now i want to do something worth while xD. Today, my windows hide program trial ran out, so i was thinking about making my own. I can't seem to find a way to show the windows I've hidden though, so please help . This is what i have so far: HotKeySet("^z", "hide") hotkeyset("^x", "show") #include <GUIConstants.au3> #Region ### START Koda GUI section ### Form= $Form1 = GUICreate("hide", 52, 15, 193, 125, -1, $WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) #EndRegion ### END Koda GUI section ### While 1 $nMsg = GUIGetMsg() Switch $nMsg Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEnd Func hide() WinSetState("","",@SW_HIDE ) EndFunc func show() EndFunc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way you have referenced the window using "" for the title and the text means that the currently active window is the target. Once you make your window hidden it cannot be the currently active window. So you simply need to use the window handle to make sure the correct window is shown again.

Is there someway to do that?Ah I see.You just need to get the handle to the active window, then use that again when you show it.$ActiveHandle = WingetHandle(WinGetTitle("","")) Serial port communications UDF Includes functions for binary transmission and reception.printing UDF Useful for graphs, forms, labels, reports etc.Add User Call Tips to SciTE for functions in UDFs not included with AutoIt and for your own scripts.Functions with parameters in OnEvent mode and for Hot Keys One function replaces GuiSetOnEvent, GuiCtrlSetOnEvent and HotKeySet.UDF IsConnected2 for notification of status of connected state of many urls or IPs, without slowing the script.
