Hi OCP,

The +Owner GUI option has the advantage of being simple to implement but will actually minimize/restore the GUI when the owner is minimized/restored, respectively. Maybe this meets your needs. Example with notepad:

Code: Select all

#NoEnv


WinWait, ahk_class Notepad
WinGet, ID, ID, % ahkid:="ahk_id " . WInExist() ;  ; if all parameters are omitted, WinExist returns the ID of the Last Found Window, if it still exist; yet, WInWait sets the Last Found Window
Gui +Owner%ID% ; make the GUI owned by the window whose ID is the one stored in the variable 'ID'
WinWaitActive % ahkid
Gui, Show, w400 h400 NoActivate
return

interesting that looks fairly simple ill play with this tomorrow

thank you
