lets say i have 2 application running at the same time
and i want one to be maximize and the other application to minimize
and when i press a hotkey i want the application windows to switch
so now the maximize app will minimize and the other application that was minimize now will maximize the window,
in other words both apps running at the same time have opposite windows.

now for the fun part
autokey relys on mouse position to click
and when you minimize a window the position may not allways be in the same spot when it minimize as a example lets say you have 2 apps running and IE then the app minimize in the task bar some were else
OR if i send this to some one and im running screen resolution 1024 x 768 and there not then how will the script know what position to minimize or maximize?
is there such a thing like minimize-app,ms-paint.exe
then have maximize-app,gimp-paint.exe
that way you dont need to know the postion

if you was a women i would kiss you.

all works fine but for it to work like it should there must be some kind of click with in the app.

if the app is 3D or paint i dont want it to click because it could mess some thing up the person is working on so is there like a code to act like a click
like app-press
im not saying click wont work but it might like
app-click,0

OR
set-paint:Active,1

these are fake codes off of the top of my head, im new

THANK :wink:

one last question for you or anyone else

can this be done?
i want a option to let the user type in the name of both apps
and all so let him chose his own hotkey
and once the exe is exited the setting stays until he changes when he wants.

sample

click a button and get 3 pop up
what hot key would you like to use type it here ______
what is the name of the first app type it here ______
what is the name of the second app type it here _______

can you add more input fields

like have it say
1:What is the name of the first window?
2:What is the name of the first window hotkey for IMPORT?
3:What is the name of the first window hotkey for EXPORT?

REpeat the same thing with app 2 with the same question

lets say the user answered like this
1: 3dsmax
2: ctrl+I
3: ctrl+E

OK when your script runs i would like it to do this
F1 saves My-backup.obj and then save my.obj to lets say my desktop
then the app Minimize
(My-backup.obj Never gets loaded and is only there for a back up copy

press F1 again the other app Maximize
it then IMPORT my.obj ctrl+I
press F1 again then it does like the step i said above..

kind of like the one app saves it then the other app loads it
and vise verse

It could be just me but I'm thinking typing in window names is error prone especially if the windows have arroneous titles. Heres a concept to select windows that store the names to memory.

Code:
ySec := -3
xMarg := 0x1f4 ;0xfa
btnTxt = Button 1,Button 2
   StringSplit, btnTxt, btnTxt,`,

Gui, Add, Text, Section vtxt1, Press button, then select the 1st Window.
Gui, Add, Button, ys%ySec% xm+%xMarg% gselW1, % btnTxt1
Gui, Add, Text, Section xm , Press button, then select the 2nd Window.
Gui, Add, Button, ys%ySec% xm+%xMarg% gselW2, % btnTxt2
Gui +AlwaysOnTop
Gui Show, NA, winSltr

Return

selW1:
selTxt = Select the 1st Window!,,
   StringSplit, selTxt, selTxt,`,

SetTimer, blinkTxt1, On
blinkTxt1:
   count++
   ControlSetText, Static1, % selTxt%count%, ahk_class AutoHotkeyGUI
   WinGetActiveTitle, acWin
   SplitPath, acWin, acWin,
   If acWin != winSltr
      {
      ControlSetText, Static1, % "Win 1 is : " acWin, ahk_class AutoHotkeyGUI
      ControlMove, Static1,,, % xMarg,, ahk_class AutoHotkeyGUI
      SetTimer, blinkTxt1, Off
      }

   Sleep, 0x1f4
      If count > 2
         count=
Return

selW2:
selTxt = Select the 2nd Window!,,
   StringSplit, selTxt, selTxt,`,

SetTimer, blinkTxt2, On
blinkTxt2:
   count++
   ControlSetText, Static2, % selTxt%count%, ahk_class AutoHotkeyGUI
   WinGetActiveTitle, acWin
   SplitPath, acWin, acWin,
   If acWin != winSltr
      {
      ControlSetText, Static2, % "Win 2 is : " acWin, ahk_class AutoHotkeyGUI
      ControlMove, Static2,,, % xMarg,, ahk_class AutoHotkeyGUI
      SetTimer, blinkTxt2, Off
      }

   Sleep, 0x1f4
      If count > 2
         count=
Return
Still a bit messy and lots of redundancy.
For instance the active window titles should be stored to an array.
Now the new window name overwrites the active window var.

Wrote on win7, not tested on XP..

You mean something like this?
Code:
switchFile := A_ScriptDir "\Switch.txt"
hkeyFile := A_ScriptFullPath

F1::
FileReadLine, var1, % switchFile, 1
FileReadLine, var2, % switchFile, 2

SetTitleMatchMode, 2
IfWinActive, %var1%
{
   WinMinimize, %var1%
   Sleep, 100
   WinMaximize, %var2%
   Return
}

SetTitleMatchMode, 2
IfWinActive, %var2%
{
   WinMinimize, %var2%
   Sleep, 100
   WinMaximize, %var1%
   Return
}

Return

F3::
FileDelete, % switchFile
inputbox, var1, Window 1, What is the name of the first window?`nWindow titles are case sensitive.
inputbox, var2, Window 2, What is the name of the second window?`nWindow titles are case sensitive.
inputbox, var3, Hotkey, App 1.`nWhat is the name of the first window hotkey for IMPORT?
inputbox, var4, Hotkey, App 1.`nWhat is the name of the first window hotkey for EXPORT?
inputbox, var5, Hotkey, App 2.`nWhat is the name of the first window hotkey for IMPORT?
inputbox, var6, Hotkey, App 2.`nWhat is the name of the first window hotkey for EXPORT?

FileAppend, % swVar := var1 "`n" var2, % switchFile
FileAppend, %  hkVar := "`n`n" var3 ":`n`nReturn`n`n" var4 ":`n`nReturn`n`n" var5 ":`n`nReturn`n`n" var6 ":`n`nReturn`n`n", % hkeyFile
Reload

The script reloads with the hotkeys written to it.

Only thing is I dont have those apps so its going to be impossible for me to create a script that performs actions on the underlying apps..

what does that do because i press F1 and nothing happens.

if you look at his code you dont need to write the name of the app in the code because the user does that by typing it in the input field.

lets say some one wants to use this with other apps im not aware of
so there is no way of knowing the name
