 Posted: Fri Oct 02, 2009 1:46 pm Post subject: Cannot use winset with 0x8 exstyle |
 |
|
Hi, I was wondering why I can't use winset with 0x8 (topmost) like:
| Code: | | WinSet, Exstyle, ^0x8, ahk_id %winid% |
I get no effect on the target window and also Errorlevel = 1, indicating a failure. What am I doing wrong?
(Also, I want to avoid using the "Winset, AlwaysOnTop, Toggle" function as I'm dealing with other styles and exstyles as well and was hoping to be able to apply all exstyles using the above code.)
Thanks |

Thanks for your reply. However, I'm certain that ahk_id %winid% is valid (window does exist) since the all other exstyles/styles can be applied successfully, just not 0x8. Also, I'm running windows Vista x86 and not 9x.
The odd thing is that "Winset, AlwaysOnTop, Toggle" succeeds where "WinSet, Exstyle, ^0x8" fails.

I'm not the best person to figure it out, but maybe that specific style is not appliable.
Tell us which exactly is the target window. Someone should be able to tell you what's wrong.

Also tell us what version of Vista 32 bit vs 64 bit
IMHO x86 is not useful information.
I happen to be running "windows vista home premium" SP1
