minimize unminimze

[Garrett19212]

Im making something for a program.

When the program "Brood War" minimizes i want it to pause the program.

When the program "Brood War" unminimizes i want it to unpause the program.

I have a command that pauses it manually like.

Global $Paused
HotKeySet("^{SPACE}", "Paused")

Func Paused()
    $Paused = NOT $Paused
    While $Paused
        sleep(100)
    WEnd
EndFunc

While BitAND(WinGetState('window title','window text'),@SW_MINIMIZE)

Its not working.

I have 2 seperate programs.

1st program- the one that works with the game.

2nd program- the actually game thats running.

When the 2nd program minimizes i want the 1st program to pause itself.

When the 2nd program unminimizes i want the 1st program to unpause itself.

Ummm ....made the assumption that SW_MINIMIZE= 16 but it is 6

so this should work... (demo with notepad):

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
Run('notepad')

while 1
    While BitAND(WinGetState('- Notepad',''),16)
        sleep(500)
        SplashTextOn('','Sleeping',150,50,1,1)
    WEnd
    SplashTextOn('','Running',150,50,1,1)
    sleep(500)
WEnd

[Garrett19212]

how woudl i add that to my program what would i change

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)

Run('notepad')

while 1

While BitAND(WinGetState('- brood war',''),16)

sleep(500)

SplashTextOn('','Sleeping',150,50,1,1)

WEnd

SplashTextOn('','Running',150,50,1,1)

sleep(500)

WEnd

like that? cuz it didn't work.

It didnt pause or anything when i minimized it still said running and it didnt do any of the other commands i had

thought your windows title was: 'brood war' and not '- brood war' ..

[Garrett19212]

it works with pausing ect but it doesnt cary out my other commands

Don't tell me you just inserted this example in your running code ....

The example is to just a proof of concept....

you need to apply this concept to your own code since you are the only one that knows it.

Just to show the logic:

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
while 1
    While BitAND(WinGetState('brood war',''),16)
        sleep(500)
      ; code to perform while minimized
    WEnd
  ;
  ; put here your code you want to perform while window is not minimized    
  ;
WEnd
