Maximize a Chrome window that might be minimized

[codude]

This works fine for minimizing a Google Chrome window that might be open

WinGet nChromeWindows, Count, ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1
WinMinimize ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1

But this will not work for maximizing a Google Chrome window that might be minimized.

WinGet nChromeWindows, Count, ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1
WinMaximize ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1

What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Just use "WinActivate, Chrome"

Thanks, I tried that on this screen and it did not work. I minimized this screen and ran "WinActivate, Chrome" and it did not come back up. I did a WinGetTitle on this screen and it did have the word "Chrome" in the window title.

Try:

Code: Select all

WinRestore, ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1
WinMaximize, ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1

Thanks, this is better but I still have an issue. I am starting to figure out there is a difference between a window being minimized and a window being covered by another window. Your solution works if the Google Chrome window is minimized but if it was covered over by another window it does not work. Is there something I can add to this or change so that the Chrome window is put on top for both cases?

You could try:

Code: Select all

WinRestore, ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1
Winactivate, ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1
WinMaximize, ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1

You could also check the state of the window first with:

Code: Select all

WinGet, OutputVar, MinMax, WinTitle

But i dont think its needed.
