If I activate the window that minimized and active is -- it will not be restored and showed. As example: Mozilla Firefox -- if it is alone runned and minimized, it stay active and WinActivate has no effect.

Trying to ignore the Engrish...I press on...

WinActivate & WinRestore are different things...activate basically (I think) means keyboard focus, a window can have focus but still be minimized. You should restore the window if you want to unminimize it...then if just restoring don't focus the window, add WinActivate too.

Engrish translation...
WinActivate & WinRestore different thing...activate mean keyboard focus, window have focus but minimized. You restore window if wants unminimize...then restoring no focus window, adds WinActivate.

By design, WinActivate will unminimize the window if it is minimized. If this does not happen in the case of Mozilla Firefox, try using the following:

Code:

WinGet, MinMax, MinMax, WinTitle
if MinMax < 0  ; The window is minimized.
    PostMessage, 0x112, 0xF120,,, WinTitle  ; 0x112 = WM_SYSCOMMAND, 0xF120 = SC_RESTORE
WinActivate WinTitle  ; Done only after it has been unminimized.
