Another hider?

[Nuffilein805]

Ok, i know this topic has been up quite often in the last 2 weeks, but i decided on doing something different

i wanted to:

1. know which windows exist

2. which are shown

3. hide shown windows

4. unhide hidden windows (works on most windows)

that's all i wanted to do and now i did it

so here it is

removed the code, got too long

needs beta

and here is the downloadable script

hideme.au3

have fun using this little tool - btw i was suprised how many hidden windows i've got

Cool but the hide and unhide buttons on the gui don't seem to work...

[Nuffilein805]

they should work

have you selected a listviewitem?

there are some things you can't unhide as well

who else wanted to see all hidden windows?

I did...

Had a post about it here.

I made this to view some of the hidden windows.

$win = WinList()
$msg = $win[0][0] & " windoes total."
$test = ""
For $i = 1 To $win[0][0]
    If $win[$i][0] == "" Then
        If WinGetText($win[$i][1]) <> "" Then
            $msg &= @CRLF & $i & ". *(NoName [Will try to display window text below.])" 
            If BitAnd(WinGetState($win[$i][1]), 2) Then $msg &= " *(IsVisible)"
            If Not BitAnd(WinGetState($win[$i][1]), 4) Then $msg &= " *(IsDisabled)"
            $msg &= @CRLF & "---WinText---" & @CRLF & WinGetText($win[$i][1]) & "---WinTextEnd---"
        EndIf
        ContinueLoop
    EndIf
    $msg &= @CRLF & $i & ". " & $win[$i][0]
    If BitAnd(WinGetState($win[$i][1]), 2) Then $msg &= " *(IsVisible)"
    If Not BitAnd(WinGetState($win[$i][1]), 4) Then $msg &= " *(IsDisabled)"
Next
ToolTip($msg, 10, 10)
Sleep(60000)

nice long post

you just have 170 windows, thats good i got 212 (40 from logitech ??? what a wonderful keyboard i have )

i just unhid some of those and it shows all the window-popups like "capslock on", ... funny thing, maybe there's a way of making your co-workers go crazy i'll think about that

Nice Nufflein

[Nuffilein805]

actually i discovered a little problem as well

Cool but the hide and unhide buttons on the gui don't seem to work...

because of the sorting-thing it seems like the listviewitems don't work anymore

figured out the problem and fixed it

updated the file in the first post

[Nuffilein805]

Nice Nufflein

thx

if some1 needs some other functions just ask

btw: i edited gafrosts _guictrllistviewsort to fit my needs

[rambo3889]

Okay

Rather than changing the udf, why don't you use the new function GUICtrlRegisterListViewSort?

[Nuffilein805]

haven't downloaded the latest beta for ages

maybe i should do that, but for now it works

I have just downloaded this script and want to know what I may have done wrong. Everytime I run it the GUI pops up for a moment (I can see it for a split sec) then it disappears. What can I do?

[rambo3889]

100 % sure u use beta i do and it works fine for me

I have the same problem. Ironiqually, the GUI seems to hide itself. The process is there.

It returns a error non-beta so i switched to beta, i'm 100% sure of that.

..no no, start the prog, it starts hidden - make a window active and press for example Alt + PageUp

BTW you could modify the script: set a ; before #NoTrayIcon

That is really cool to see how many hidden windows you have - I think my next step is to find out how to keep a window on top, so that the script stays on top. Thanks for you help.

[slightly_abnormal]

nice script!! couldn't figure it out until reading about alt-pageup

can it update automatically.. and when it first starts it should show.. me thinks and multiselect (shift-select/ctrl-select) would be cool

WinSetState ("Unhide Window", "", @SW_SHOW)

send("!{pgup}")

[Nuffilein805]

ok i'll think about multiselect

the window should start hidden but sometimes it appears for a split-second depending on what kind of pc it's running (old 1s it appears)

but for now i don't have a lot of time for i'm trying to write an "enigma"-clon (but with 255 chars and 1.4septillion combinations possible)
