I have this:

Code:

#2:: 
 DetectHiddenWindows, on 
 IfWinExist, ahk_class OpWindow
  {
  WinActivate, ahk_class OpWindow
  }
  Else
  {
  Run "E:\Program Files\Opera\opera.exe"  
  WinActivate, ahk_pid opera.exe
  } 
return

in this the winActivate command doesn't seem to be working properly. when the shortcut is pressed The window (opwindow) is not brought to the front, and any existing window that had focus, loses its focus. So the winactivate command is called but it fails to bring the window to the front.

Help please

I think what you are detecting (with DetectHiddenWindows, on) is the tray icon (which has no displayable window). This works just fine for me.

Code:

#2:: 
 ;DetectHiddenWindows, on ; <---- don't turn this on
 IfWinExist, ahk_class OpWindow 
  { 
  WinActivate, ahk_class OpWindow 
  } 
  Else 
  { 
  Run "E:\Program Files\Opera\opera.exe"  
  WinActivate, ahk_pid opera.exe 
  } 
return

you are right, disabling detechhiddenwindows almost fixes this. It works if the window if minimized, but doesn't work if the window has been traymin'ed (using some other program)

Also I have this for the application xplorer2

Quote:

#3::
DetectHiddenWindows, on
IfWinExist, ahk_class ATL:ExplorerFrame
{
WinActivate, ahk_class ATL:ExplorerFrame

}
Else
{
Run "E:\Program Files\zabkat\xplorer2\xplorer2_UC.exe"
WinActivate ahk_class ATL:ExplorerFrame

}

this one works perfectly.
