This Lua script will tell you if a window is visible or not (checks the WS_VISIBLE style):

It's a little messy, but should be easy enough to follow and make it do what you want!




local xortbl = {
{ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, },
{ 1, 0, 3, 2, 5, 4, 7, 6, 9, 8, 11, 10, 13, 12, 15, 14, },
{ 2, 3, 0, 1, 6, 7, 4, 5, 10, 11, 8, 9, 14, 15, 12, 13, },
{ 3, 2, 1, 0, 7, 6, 5, 4, 11, 10, 9, 8, 15, 14, 13, 12, },
{ 4, 5, 6, 7, 0, 1, 2, 3, 12, 13, 14, 15, 8, 9, 10, 11, },
{ 5, 4, 7, 6, 1, 0, 3, 2, 13, 12, 15, 14, 9, 8, 11, 10, },
{ 6, 7, 4, 5, 2, 3, 0, 1, 14, 15, 12, 13, 10, 11, 8, 9, },
{ 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, },
{ 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, },
{ 9, 8, 11, 10, 13, 12, 15, 14, 1, 0, 3, 2, 5, 4, 7, 6, },
{10, 11, 8, 9, 14, 15, 12, 13, 2, 3, 0, 1, 6, 7, 4, 5, },
{11, 10, 9, 8, 15, 14, 13, 12, 3, 2, 1, 0, 7, 6, 5, 4, },
{12, 13, 14, 15, 8, 9, 10, 11, 4, 5, 6, 7, 0, 1, 2, 3, },
{13, 12, 15, 14, 9, 8, 11, 10, 5, 4, 7, 6, 1, 0, 3, 2, },
{14, 15, 12, 13, 10, 11, 8, 9, 6, 7, 4, 5, 2, 3, 0, 1, },
{15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, },
}

function bxor(a,b)
local res, mult = 0, 1
while a > 0 and b > 0 do
local a2, b2 = a % 16, b % 16
res = res + xortbl[a2+1][b2+1] * mult
a = (a-a2) / 16
b = (b-b2) / 16
mult = mult * 16
end
res = res + (a+b) * mult
return res
end

function band(a,b)
return ((a+b) - bxor(a,b))/2
end


local alien = alien.core
local mb = alien.load("user32.dll")
local GetWindowLong = mb.GetWindowLongA
GetWindowLong:types{ ret = 'uint', abi = 'stdcall', 'long', 'long'}

acRunProgram("c:\\windows\\notepad.exe","",0, 0)
acMessageBox("notepad opened HIDDEN, click OK to check VISIBLE status","",nil)

local hWnd = acFindWindowByTitleRegex(".*Notepad")

if hWnd > 0 then
local iStyles = GetWindowLong(hWnd, -16)
if band(iStyles,268435456) == 268435456 then
acMessageBox("Window is Visible (killing notepad after you click OK)","Visible?",nil)
else
acMessageBox("Window is NOT Visible (killing notepad after you click OK)","Visible?",nil)
end
acCloseApplication(hWnd, nil, nil)
end

acRunProgram("c:\\windows\\notepad.exe","",0, 1)
acDelay(200)

hWnd = acFindWindowByTitleRegex(".*Notepad")
if hWnd > 0 then
local iStyles = GetWindowLong(hWnd, -16)
acActivateWindow(hWnd, nil, nil)
acMessageBox("notepad opened VISIBLE, click OK to check VISIBLE status","",nil)
if band(iStyles,268435456) == 268435456 then
acMessageBox("Window is Visible (killing notepad after you click OK)","Visible?",nil)
else
acMessageBox("Window is NOT Visible (killing notepad after you click OK)","Visible?",nil)

By the way, 268435456 is the decimal equivalent for WS_VISIBLE
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms632600(v=vs.85).aspx)

-16 is the value for GWL_STYLE

Sweet badger soup! Thanks Rob!
I'm new to Lua, so it was kind of a surprise that you were implementing home-grown bitwise operators. So I looked it up, and discovered that it wasn't until Lua 5.2 that it started shipping with the bit32 library. But S+ must be using Lua 5.2 because it looks like the bit32 library is available in S+.
Anyway, here is what I came up with, in case anyone wants a similar function to get the style of a window.

New function in StrokesPlus.lua:
function spGetWinStyle(hwnd, x, y)
  if hwnd == nil then hwnd = acGetOwnerWindowByPoint(x, y) end
  local user32 = alien.core.load("user32.dll")
  local GetWindowLong = user32.GetWindowLongA
  GetWindowLong:types{ ret = 'uint', abi = 'stdcall', 'ulong', 'long'}
  return GetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_STYLE)
end


Lua Script for Action to toggle properties window in Visual Studio:
local hw = acFindWindow("VBFloatingPalette", "Properties")
if bit32.band(spGetWinStyle(hw, 0, 0, true), WS_VISIBLE) == WS_VISIBLE then
  acSendMessage(hw, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0)
else
  acSendKeys("%{ENTER}")
end

Ah, yes it is 5.2, I try to keep Lua and Boost up-to-date.

Thanks for the info about the bit32 stuff. I don't really know anything about Lua, I just knew it would be good to have in there for times like these =)
