i have a problem when i try to retrive when a chatwindow is minimized
I use matty's function(GetWindowPlacement api):

var WindowPlacment = Interop.Allocate(48);
function _getPlacement(hWnd){
    if (hWnd > 0){
        Interop.Call('user32', 'GetWindowPlacement', hWnd, WindowPlacement);
       
        Debug.Trace('> .showCmd : '+WindowPlacement.ReadDWORD(8));
        if (WindowPlacement.ReadDWORD(8) == 3){
            Debug.Trace(' > .showCmd : Maximized');
        } else if (WindowPlacement.ReadDWORD(8) == 2){
            Debug.Trace(' > .showCmd : Minimized');
        } else if (WindowPlacement.ReadDWORD(8) == 1){
            Debug.Trace(' > .showCmd : Opened');
        }
    } else {
        Debug.Trace(' > .showCmd : Closed');
    }
}


but with it i can retrive when it opened ,maximized ,closed but i can't retrive when is minimized...Can someone help me???Thanks in advice

According to the MSDN site and the Win32 API Constants, this should do it:

code:

---

var WindowPlacment = Interop.Allocate(48);
function _getPlacement(hWnd){
    if (hWnd > 0){
        Interop.Call('user32', 'GetWindowPlacement', hWnd, WindowPlacement);
       
        Debug.Trace('> .showCmd : '+WindowPlacement.ReadDWORD(8));
        if (WindowPlacement.ReadDWORD(8) == 3){
            Debug.Trace(' > .showCmd : Maximized');
        } else if (WindowPlacement.ReadDWORD(8) == 2){
            Debug.Trace(' > .showCmd : Minimized');
        } else if (WindowPlacement.ReadDWORD(8) == 1){
            Debug.Trace(' > .showCmd : Opened');
        } else if(WindowPlacement.ReadDWORD(8) == 6){
            Debug.Trace(' > .showCmd : Opened');
        }
    } else {
        Debug.Trace(' > .showCmd : Closed');
    }
}

Why not use:

if(<maximised>){
...
...
}else if(<opened>){
...
...
}else{
//Must be minimised
...
}

Don't work so...However the problem is not this...I can't retrive when it's minimized not when it's opened..to retrive if it's opened i can use findwindow api function

your code can't work because the value is always 3 or 1 also when it's minimized so else operator can't work because there isn't another value....The problem is that matty's code always works except for chatwindow

If it always returns 3 or 1, then thats got to be what Windows is reporting it as.

I got this in my debug window when testing:

code:

---

Script has been stopped
Script is starting
Script is now loaded and ready
> .showCmd : 1
> .showCmd : Opened
Script has been stopped
Script is starting
Script is now loaded and ready
> .showCmd : 3
> .showCmd : Maximized
Script has been stopped
Script is starting
Script is now loaded and ready
> .showCmd : 2
> .showCmd : Minimized

The function works fine (except the var in the above codes you have posted is called WindowPlacment not WindowPlacement)

EDIT: This also mean the if statement I suggested would work (except for if it encountered an error and returned 0)

however yes i know about the var...DO YOU TESTING THE CODE ON A CHATWND OR ON ANOTHER WINDOW??...BECAUSE I HAVE ALSO TESTED  ON ANOTHER WINDOW AND IT  WORKED...tHE CODE DON'T WORK ONLY ON CHATWND

It's a tabs issue It works fine when tabs are disabled, but not when they are in use. I think it's the way Plus! hides the windows rather than minimizing and so on
