You need to use the window handle which is unique for every window. Monitor when the active window changes and save its handle if it's not your window. This quick example might help explain. $last = -1 $mygui = wingethandle("Title of my gui") HotKeySet("^{F6}", "ex") While 1 $now = WinGetHandle("[ACTIVE]") If $now <> 0 And $now <> $last and $now <> $mygui Then ConsoleWrite(WinGetTitle($now) & " has handle " & Hex($now) & @CRLF) $last = $now EndIf WEnd Func ex() Exit EndFunc ;==>ex 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.

bo8ster Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Given a a window title, AutoIt will open the first window it finds that matches. I am not sure WinActive works but I would suspect it works something iterating through the results of WinList then making the first match found active. If you are searching by title and there are two windows that have the same title, it can't tell the difference. Post your code because code says more then your words can.

You must use the handle (not the PID).

minimax Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 No, you can't.Sure?What about searching within the array returned by WinList() for the last match of the title and using that handle. (Maybe the last one started, and not the last one the user had active.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bo8ster Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 @minimax - martin is correct, you can't. I understand your suggestion however there is no way to guarantee the order returned from WinList(). You have no way of telling which one it will be in the array and the order will change each time WinList() is called. Post your code because code says more then your words can.
