Get the last opened Window if there are several with same name

[RRaebiger]

Hello,

i'am new with AutoIt and need some help.

I have an application which opens a special window everytime with the same title. If there are allready some windows opened, how can i find out which of these same titeled windows has been opened at last?

I tried it with handles, but still i am without a solution.

Has anybody an idea?

Regards

You could try using the text parameter, if there is a piece of text in the window which identifies the window you are looking for.

If the window has the same title as the previous window, then that's not going to work. What application is this?? Maybe we can try to see if we can come up with a solution using it.

I think differently.

Select
    Case WinActive('Same Title', 'some text')
        ; do something
    Case WinActive('Same Title', 'different text')
        ; do something
EndSelect

True enough.. a bit brain dead today, if that doesn't work, Helge and myself came up with a couple of scenerios yesterday... http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=20747

I think all the window functions will match the last active window in the event more than one window meets the search criteria.
