[resolved] check Window if $WS_EX_TOPMOST is set

[AndyK70]

Hi guys,

I know the function WinSetOnTop and also the extended style $WS_EX_TOPMOST which you can give while creating a GUI, but...

How do I check if a window has this set, aka AlwaysOnTop?

My goal is to have a little script waiting for a hotkey to be pressed and then toggle the $WS_EX_TOPMOST of the [ACTIVE] window.

In order to do that I have to be able to retrieve that flag to do a bitwise XOR on it, just don't know how to query it.

 

thx in advance

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPISysWin.au3>

Local $hWnd = WinGetHandle("your window")

$WS_EX_STYLE = _WinAPI_GetWindowLong($hWnd, $GWL_EXSTYLE)

If BitAND($WS_EX_STYLE, $WS_EX_TOPMOST) Then
    ConsoleWrite(" Window is on top ")
Else
    ConsoleWrite(" Window is not on top ")
EndIf
