WinGetMinMax()

Auto Hotkey

WinGetMinMax

Retrieves the minimized/maximized state for a window.

OutputVar := WinGetMinMax(WinTitle, WinText, ExcludeTitle, ExcludeText)
Functon example: MinMax := WinGetMinMax("ahk_class Notepad")

Parameters

OutputVar

The name of the variable in which to store the state of the window.
OuputVar is made blank if no matching window exists; otherwise, it is set to one of the following numbers:
-1: The window is minimized (WinRestore can unminimize it).
1: The window is maximized (WinRestore can unmaximize it).
0: The window is neither minimized nor maximized.

WinTitle (optional)

The title or partial title of the target window (the matching behavior is determined by SetTitleMatchMode). If this and the other 3 window parameters are blank or omitted, the Last Found Window will be used. To use a window class, specify ahk_class ExactClassName (shown by Window Spy). To use a process identifier (PID), specify ahk_pid %VarContainingPID%. To use a window group, specify ahk_group GroupName. To use a window's unique ID number, specify ahk_id %VarContainingID%. The search can be narrowed by specifying multiple criteria. For example: My File.txt ahk_class Notepad. The use correct child window when multiple window with same criteria exist specify ahk_parent %VarContainingID%. For example: ahk_class #32770 ahk_parent %MyWinID%

WinText (optional)

If present, this parameter must be a substring from a single text element of the target window (as revealed by the included Window Spy utility). Hidden text elements are detected if DetectHiddenText is ON.

ExcludeTitle (optional)

Windows whose titles include this value will not be considered.

ExcludeText (optional)

Windows whose text include this value will not be considered.
