Active Window Question

[JustMePatrick]

I would like to see if there is a way to determine If at anytime the active window becomes a specific value then execute a series of commands that logs me on.

#IfWinExits works great for only accepting a specific Hot Key Sequence to execute my code.

However, it would be good if it saw the window title was X then performed y commands without prompting.

I'm new here, so I may not be right here; but it looks like your looking for WinWait?

Code: Select all

^q::
WinWait, windowName
do stuff
return

Alternatively you could do this:

Code: Select all

^q::
loop	;	Infinite loop until window exists (or could use active depending on what you want)
{
	if (IfWinExist)
	{
		do stuff
		return	; Ends the script
	}
}

You can try this as it doesn't require waiting for the window or looping:

Code: Select all

Gui +HwndHwnd
DllCall("RegisterShellHookWindow", "Ptr", Hwnd)
MsgNum := DllCall("RegisterWindowMessage", "Str", "SHELLHOOK")
OnMessage(MsgNum, "ShellMessage")
Return

ShellMessage(wParam, lParam) {
   WinGetTitle, Title, ahk_id %lParam%
   if ((wParam = 1  ; HSHELL_WINDOWCREATED
   ||   wParam = 4) ; HSHELL_WINDOWACTIVATED
   && InStr(Title, "Notepad"))
      ToolTip, %Title% ; Replace with your commands
}

Cheers!
