WinActivate doesn't work on MSI Afterburner

[capslock]

Hi, I'm using MSI Afterburner to overclock my PC and I'm trying to write AHK script to activate afterburner window to select the profile.

here is my code.

Code: Select all

DetectHiddenWindows, On

;MSIafterburner info
MSIABTitle := "MSI Afterburner"
MSIABClass := "Afx:00400000:20:00010003:00000000:00000000"

IfWinExist, %MSIABTitle%
{
	;WinGetPos, Xpos, Ypos
	WinShow
	WinRestore
	WinActivate
	Msgbox found!
	;Msgbox found! at %Xpos%,%Ypos%
}
else
{
	Msgbox 404 not found
}

and it didn't work
the window exist but can't activate

after some try and error here is what I found
-when minimize afterburner it go to tray icon not taskbar.
-it seem like when minimize afterburner it just hide the window or something, because I can get win position when minimize and it is the same position as when it active.
-I also use WinShow and WinRestore but still not working
-I also try using ahk_class, but still the same.

is there any way to make this work?

also, here is MSI afterburner download link : https://www.msi.com/page/afterburner

ok, after some more days of try and error, I found a solution.

the problem is afterburner will always run on admin privilege and in order to control it, AHK also need admin privilege too

so all I need to do is run my script as admin and the normal WinActivate will do its job.
