Selecting correct window

[AutoN00B]

I am trying to find a way to select a sepecific window before proceeding witha script

what I have been trying to use is ALT+TAB which I can use as Send("!{TAB}")

I attempted to write a while loop that said while NOT the window I want send ("!{TAB}")

I can only get this to go back and forth between two windows. I attempted to change it with "!{TAB}{TAB}" or "!{TAB}{TAB}" but did not have any luck

is there an easier way to select windows or to send multiple iterations of tab while still holding the alt key?

Thanks for any/all help

While 1
If NOT WinActive("notepad","") then;please use AutoIT Finder to get correct title
send("!{TAB}")
Wend

thanks for the fast help!

d4rd that is very similar to one of my various attempts

the problem I am running into and I guess did not sufficiently explain is that I may need to cycle through multiple windows. This method only sends one iteration of Alt+Tab per attempt. This means that if you have 7 windows open it will only cycle between two and may never pull up the one intended. If we stick with this method (as I said there is probably a better one, I simply don't know it) we need to get the number of times it sends tab while holding ALT to increase each time.

also on your code I had to add an endif to get it to run. I have not used if statements in autoIT before but this seems odd as the command is only one line. (not a big deal and something I can figure out later, but am I missing something very obvious with this?)

i sometimes have such foolish typo, sorry

... And if you want to open the Apps by pressing Alt + Tab, so you need to know where it is (the order of it) to send the right tab counts

if I need to know the order it falls in, which I don't, is there another way to go about selecting open windows?
