MWS - My Window Stash

Posted Image

Current Version: v1.0 (2011-Oct-30)

MWS is a free program to stash away the Windows on your desktop. With MWS you can set any program Window as hidden, while the program itself will run silently in the background. Additionally all the Hotkeys used can be customized to your needs.

[*] With MWS you can improve your “Visual Privacy”. No-one looking at your desktop will see instantly what programs you’re running anymore.

[*] You can hide away programs which have long processing runs, cluttering your desktop and impairing the overall usability.

[*] MWS is fully portable, the settings are stored in a "mws.ini" file created in the scriptdir.

It works fine on my Win7-64bit machine. If you find bugs please let me know.

The source and executable can be downloaded from my site: http://www.funk.eu

Kudos to Ascend4nt, Prog@ndy, UEZ & Yashied for parts of the code.

Please let me know if you found some piece of code in the source for which I forgot to mention a credit.

Enjoy, let me know what you think of MWS and with Best Regards

Seems to work well on XP SP3. Tried java soft window successfully.

Good to know (I didn't test it on XP at all :D), thanks for the feedback!

As an added value... debug or whatever, maybe you could add the ability to view other hidden windows.

...

$var = WinList()
For $i = 1 to $var[0][0]
  ; Only display non visble windows that have a title
  If $var[$i][0] <> "" AND NotVisible($var[$i][1]) Then
    MsgBox(0, "Details", "Title=" & $var[$i][0] & @LF & "Handle=" & $var[$i][1])
 WinSetState($var[$i][0], "", @SW_SHOW)
  EndIf
Next
Func NotVisible($handle)
  If BitAnd( WinGetState($handle), 2 ) Then
    Return 0
  Else
    Return 1
  EndIf
EndFunc

8)

Nice idea KaFu. Thanks.

A more consolidated example of getting the icon from the window handle using the examples from the forum. :D

Thanks for the feedback :oops:. Hmmm, but truth to be told your functions seems to be nearly the same as the ones I've already used, just that mine are copies of custom functions whereas you rely on Yashied's WinApiEx UDF. I'll give it a shoot and see which one's faster. But stay tuned for the next release :D, I've been considering Valuater's comment and this is what it's gonna look like (if I manage to get it stable and consistent in behavior... and also add some more speed tweaks)...

No they're the same of course but I thought you're using WinAPIEx so why not replace the DLL calls etc..the new UI looks interesting.
