WinRestore

Unminimizes or unmaximizes the specified window if it is minimized or maximized.

WinRestore , WinTitle, WinText, ExcludeTitle, ExcludeText

Parameters

WinTitle, WinText, ExcludeTitle, ExcludeText

If each of these is blank or omitted, the Last Found Window will be used. Otherwise, specify for WinTitle a window title or other criteria to identify the target window and/or for WinText a substring from a single text element of the target window (as revealed by the included Window Spy utility).

ExcludeTitle and ExcludeText can be used to exclude one or more windows by their title or text. Their specification is similar to WinTitle and WinText, except that ExcludeTitle does not recognize any criteria other than the window title.

Window titles and text are case-sensitive. By default, hidden windows are not detected and hidden text elements are detected, unless changed with DetectHiddenWindows and DetectHiddenText. By default, a window title must start with the specified WinTitle or ExcludeTitle to be a match, unless changed with SetTitleMatchMode.

Remarks

If a particular type of window does not respond correctly to WinRestore, try using the following instead:

PostMessage, 0x0112, 0xF120,,, WinTitle, WinText  ; 0x0112 = WM_SYSCOMMAND, 0xF120 = SC_RESTORE

This command operates only upon the topmost matching window except when WinTitle is ahk_group GroupName, in which case all windows in the group are affected.

WinMinimize, WinMaximize

Examples

Unminimizes or unmaximizes Notepad if it is minimized or maximized.
