Sure, shouldn't be hard to write something up using this function. You should be able to get all windows via WinGet, List. To get only the ones listed in the mixer, you'll probably have to actually open the mixer and grab the names from the controls. At least, I can't think of any other ways to avoid iterating through every windows.

I see, but the fact is that it is all dynamic. there could be 10 apps in there or there could be only one.
do I have to code for every single app specificaly ?
I really hoped that there was a way to exclude a specific app from mute and mute all others .
there isn't a reverse type of thing , right?

Not understanding what you mean. You simply give it a window name to match, be sure to set the SetTitleMatchMode appropriately, and while you're looping through all the windows, when that window matches, just have it skip.

semi-pseudo-code:

Code: Select all

setTitleMatchMode,2

loop {
    ; ...
    if(winName="Notepad") ; if the word "Notepad" appears anywhere in the title
        continue
    muteWindow(winName)
}
