For example:

When the Calculator app is opened, set the window to be always on top.

Code: Select all

Calculator_AlwaysOnTop_Created(mEvent) {
    
    if WinExist('ahk_id ' mEvent['id'])
        WinSetAlwaysOnTop(1, 'ahk_id ' mEvent['id'])
    else
        WinExeCmd.MsgBox('Calculator does not exist.', 'WinExeCommander', 'iconx')    
}

When the "mspaint.exe" process is created, change its priority level to "High".

Code: Select all

MSPaint_ProcessSetPriority_Created(mEvent) {

    if ProcessExist(mEvent['pid'])
        ProcessSetPriority('High', mEvent['pid'])
    else
        WinExeCmd.MsgBox('MSPaint does not exist.', 'WinExeCommander', 'iconx')
}

Thanks for sharing. Can this tool be used as a library rather than a tool with an interface? I would like to use it like OnMessage() registers events, e.g.

OnCommander { exe: 'Notepad.exe', event: 'maximize', call: (*) => MsgBox('Notepad maximize') }

No, events must be created through the interface. They could also be created via the JSON settings file, but it's not recommended since it needs to be formatted properly; otherwise, it will cause an error.
