I have 2 GUIs. I use a timer to keep their position relative to a the application they act as buttons for. I know how to hide the GUIs if the application window is minimised and show them again if it is restored but my problem is if another window is moved on top of the application. At that point I need to hide the GUIs and then restore them again if the application goes on top again. How can I test to see if a particular window is covered by another or not? Thanks,

GP

Do you know it's a reaaaaaally easy question ???

Don't you know "IfWinActive" or "WinGetActiveTitle" ??? o_O

Code:
SetTimer AutoHide, 100

AutoHide:
IfWinNotActive TargetWindow
    WinHide MyGui
Else
    WinShowMyGui
Return

Or
Code:
SetTimer AutoHide, 100

AutoHide:
WinGetActiveTitle Title
If (Title <> TargetWindow)
    WinHide MyGui
Else
    WinShow MyGui
Return

... or you may try
Quote:
[v1.1.03+]: +Owner can be immediately followed by the name or number of an existing Gui or the HWND of any top-level window.
instead of AlwaysOnTop.

Thanks for the replies. CodeKiller, from my understanding of IfWinActive and WinGetActiveTitle the buttons would be hidden once the application was not active, regardless of whether it was visible or not. It could be visible but not be active - in such a case I wouldn't want the buttons disappearing. Hence my question about stacking order.

Since posting I managed to find this old thread that mentioned a DLL call that sorts things out for me nicely.

search for "Setparent" might be the best solution
