if not wintitle = "x" then

[TheFixer]

Basically i am trying to make a script that detects if the currently active window is 1920 x 1080 or bigger. If it detects a window that is active, that is indeed that size. It will do some stuff. 
The problem i am having is that it is detecting my desktop whenever i click on my desktop, so it's doing stuff when i don't want it to.

So all i need to know, is how can i do a simple check to see if a window = a title.

Here is what i have so far

$wintitledesktop = WinGetTitle("[ACTIVE]")

If not $wintitledesktop = "Program Manager" Then
;does stuff
endif

Program Manager is what my desktop is called btw. 

The problem with that code is that the script is still detecting the desktop and doing the code.

 

In case you need the whole section of the code, here it is.

 

$winsizecheck1 = WinGetClientSize("[ACTIVE]")
        $wintitledesktop = WinGetTitle("[ACTIVE]")
        If WinActive("[ACTIVE]") Then
            sleep(100)
        If $winsizecheck1[0] >= 1920 Then
            If $winsizecheck1[1] >= 1080 Then
                If not $wintitledesktop = "Program Manager" Then
                $gamesfolderstate = WinGetState($gamesfolder)
            If WinExists($gamesfolder) Then
                If Not BitAND($gamesfolderstate, 16) Then
                    WinSetState($gamesfolder,"",@SW_MINIMIZE)
                EndIf
                EndIf
            EndIf
            EndIf
        EndIf
        EndIf

Your test need to be:

If not ($wintitledesktop = "Program Manager") Then

Just did a quick test with the updated code, it still is running the code when i click on my desktop.

Then add some debug statement in there showing the exact content of the variable!

ps: the "game"word is quite often present in your script, so make sure you read up on our forum rules.

I assure you i'm not making any hack or exploit or a script that interacts with the game etc. What the script does is checks if a window is 1920 x 1080 (probably a game) then minimizes my games folder. Because usually it's open when i run a game from the folder. I made this because... OCD, a slight case of it anyway.

When i use this code
 

$winsizecheck1 = WinGetClientSize("[ACTIVE]")
        $wintitledesktop = WinGetTitle("[ACTIVE]")
        If WinActive("[ACTIVE]") Then
            sleep(100)
        If $winsizecheck1[0] >= 1920 Then
            If $winsizecheck1[1] >= 1080 Then
                If not ($wintitledesktop = "Program Manager") Then
                    MsgBox(0,"",$wintitledesktop)
                $gamesfolderstate = WinGetState($gamesfolder)
            If WinExists($gamesfolder) Then
                If Not BitAND($gamesfolderstate, 16) Then
                    WinSetState($gamesfolder,"",@SW_MINIMIZE)
                EndIf
                EndIf
            EndIf
            EndIf
        EndIf
        EndIf

The msgbox returns blank... white space. Nothing. Do you know why?

 

p.s here are the global variables you are possibly wondering about.

 

Global $progman = "Program Manager"
Global $gamesfolder = "Games on this comp"
