hi

a chrome window was minimized and so is on the task bar. how can i activate it and let it appear on the front by s+? perhaps we can use the name of the exe file name: chrome.exe?

=====
local iHandle = acFindWindowByTitleRegex("code.*")
if iHandle > 0 then
acActivateWindow(iHandle,0,0)
else
acSendKeys("{DELAY=50}@r")
acDelay(400)
acSendKeys("{DELAY=50}notepad~")
end
=====
this above example code is related to it? i thought this code will activate a window whose title's name is code*. but i doesn't on my computer (win8 64bit).

can you advise me?

best regards

This should work.

local iHandle = acFindWindowByTitleRegex("code.*") 
if iHandle > 0 then
   acActivateWindow(iHandle,0,0)
end

What is the exact and full title of the window?

Bring the Chrome window to the front (focus/active) and run this script:

acMessageBox(acGetWindowTitle(acGetForegroundWindow()),"Title")

The pattern you have would match "code something - Google Chrome", but not "My code - Google Chrome" since it doesn't start with "code". Something like acFindWindowByTitleRegex(".*code.*") as the pattern would match "code" anywhere in the title; however, note that the pattern is case-sensitive. ".*code.*" would not match "My Code - Google Chrome", but would match "Lowercase code - Google Chrome".
