 |

Hi,
Is there a way to enable and disable a window in AutoHotkey ? Looked up the docs but couldn't find anything.
Thanks,
Mario |

| Do you mean make it so that none of the controls inside the window are functional? If so, it might be possible to add a "WinSet" command to do that if the OS allows one app to call SetWindowLong() against another app. |

Yes. Specifically, I'm talking about what happens to a window when the EnableWindow API is called on it, so that the window does not receive input such as mouse clicks and key presses. This is applicable to top level windows containg child controls, as well as to individual child controls. When a top - level window is enabled / disabled, all its child controls are implicitly enabled / disabled.

It would be great if you could add this to WinSet. In fact, I looked up WinSet in the docs, and was expecting it to already have this functionality.
It would be nice to have ON / OFF / TOGGLE values, similar to that of the 'AlwaysOnTop' attribute.
Finally, I'm not sure that SetWindowLong will work on Windows 95/98/Me, because the docs say this :
| Code: | Windows 95/98/Me: The SetWindowLong function may fail if the window specified by the hWnd parameter does not belong to the same process as the calling thread.

Thanks for your time,
Mario |

| Thanks for the info. Since this seems easy to implement, it should be in the next version. |
