Hello,

What is the correct way to combine the following two If/Else scripts?

Code:

SetTitleMatchMode, 2
IfWinExist, Contacts
{
    WinActivate  
    return
}
else
{
    SetTitleMatchMode, 2
    WinActivate, Outlook
    return
}
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
IfWinExist, Inbox
{
    WinActivate  
    return
}
else
{
    SetTitleMatchMode, 2
    WinActivate, Outlook
    return
}
return

One of them by itself works fine but if I put them back to back, as shown above, only the first works.

Thanks

I'm no expert, but I think your problem is the returns. Try this instead:

Code:

SetTitleMatchMode, 2
IfWinExist, Contacts
    WinActivate  
else
{
    SetTitleMatchMode, 2
    WinActivate, Outlook
}
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
IfWinExist, Inbox
    WinActivate  
else
{
    SetTitleMatchMode, 2
    WinActivate, Outlook
}
return

Also, looking through this, after the first else is a SetTitleMatchMode, 2. So regardless of the if/else it's going to run that command... So this might be even better:

Code:

SetTitleMatchMode, 2
IfWinExist, Contacts
    WinActivate  
else
    WinActivate, Outlook
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
IfWinExist, Inbox
    WinActivate  
else
{
    SetTitleMatchMode, 2
    WinActivate, Outlook
}
return

[/code]

Or try this:

Code:

SetTitleMatchMode, 2

IfWinExist, Inbox
   WinActivate 
else IfWinExist, Contacts
   WinActivate
else
   WinActivate, Outlook
Return

OK, since no one replied with the code I'd use, I'll do it...

Code:

SetTitleMatchMode, 2

if (WinExist("Contacts") || WinExist("Inbox")) {
   WinActivate    
} else {
   WinActivate, Outlook
}
return

...or possibly...

Code:

SetTitleMatchMode, 2

GroupAdd, Outlook_Subwindow, Contacts
GroupAdd, Outlook_Subwindow, Inbox

if (WinExist("ahk_group Outlook_Subwindow")) {
   WinActivate
} else {
   WinActivate, Outlook
}
return

...note that the 2nd code is not a 100% exact reimplementation of the 1st code (there could be cases where they would do different things), so the 1st code may be the best option.
