Minimised Virtual keyboard.

[caramen]

Hello everyone,
I want to maximize an application when it is minimized.
the problem is: it's the virtual keyboard.

How to simply detect the fact that the keyboard is minimized?

Func OSK ()

If ProcessExists ("osk.exe") Then
Sleep (1000)
Else
Run ("osk.exe")
EndIf

If ProcessExists ("osk.exe") Then
   WinActivate ( "Clavier" )
Else
Sleep (100)
EndIf

EndFunc

Here everything work perfectly but... i am not stoping to get the focus on the keyboard so we cannot type in a windows with that. 

 

Thanks

Good morning @caramen
Have you took a look in the Help file about Win* functions?

Best Regards.

[caramen]

Yeah ofc.  The probleme is probably about my understanding of these fonction... i am familiar with autoit but if you can provide me a logical help  i am gonna do the rest hihi

 

I think i am gonna stay closed anything if i try anything. 

Becose i need to activate the windows if it s minimised only. 

I mean if the virtual keyboard is not active but not minimised it s ok for me. 

 

It s more complicated than it looks. becose my main windows is in full screen mode. so i think this is my real probleme. becose i am gonna loose focus of the virtual keyboard anyway hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

WinGetState()

 

Func OSK ()

    If Not ProcessExists("osk.exe") Then Run("osk.exe")

    Do
        If ProcessExists("osk.exe") Then WinActivate("Clavier")
        Sleep(200)
    Until WinGetState("osk.exe") = 8 ;Returns 8 when Clavier is active

EndFunc

Some thing like this?

Sorry I didn't read your comment; only your primary post. Yes is working as intended now?

[caramen]

Nop i want to send my WinActive function only when the Virtual keyboard is minimised ONLY. That should work with the return value 16 but it s not working as intented.

@caramen
Did you try WinSetState()?
I just tried to minimize osk.exe, and I got 23 as WinGetState() result

[caramen]

The help file is saying : 

$WIN_STATE_EXISTS (1) = Window exists
$WIN_STATE_VISIBLE (2) = Window is visible
$WIN_STATE_ENABLED (4) = Window is enabled
$WIN_STATE_ACTIVE (8) = Window is active
$WIN_STATE_MINIMIZED (16) = Window is minimized
$WIN_STATE_MAXIMIZED (32) = Window is maximized

I have to change 16 to 23 ?

@caramen If you try WinGetState() of the "osk.exe" process, what is the result?

Try ConsoleWrite() if MsgBox() let your TW crashes

@caramen
Don't declare Global variables in Functions... They will be declared in Local scope anyway
Ok, let us know

Best Regards.
