WinMinimize open/active Excel window not working

11 Mar 2018, 22:44

When I run the following over an open/active/maximized Excel window, it doesn't minimize. I searched AHK and played around with WinWait, but still same problem

F9::
FileToName := "MyFile"
xlApp := ComObjActive("Excel.Application")
FileTo_Path := A_Desktop "\" FileToName ".xlsx"
FileTo := xlApp.Workbooks.Open(FileTo_Path)
WinMinimize, Microsoft Excel

Use this to check the title of the active window:

Code: Select all

WinGetTitle, vWinTitle, A
MsgBox, % vWinTitle
You could try:

Code: Select all

WinMinimize, ahk_class XLMAIN
Is any of your script working? Try adding SoundBeep or a MsgBox, perhaps you need to run the script as Admin.
