I need a script that tests whether all open windows are minimized / the user is looking at the Desktop.

If yes, I want to:

SendInput #{m} ; To put the mouse focus on the current Desktop icon.

If no, do nothing.

Any help would be appreciated .. thx.

From here, will test what window is under the mouse:

Code:
MouseGetPos,,,win
WinGetClass, class, ahk_id %win%
If class in Progman,WorkerW
 MsgBox, You're on the Desktop!
else
 MsgBox, You're so not on the Desktop!
Return

Didn't quite work ..

With two open windows, I closed the first, ran the test and it minimized the second window, which should have been left open.

Any way to use a WinActive test?

Thanks,

This literally checks each window to determine if it is minimized.
Code:
#z::
WinGet, list, List
Loop,% list {
 WinGet, state, MinMax,% "ahk_id" list%A_Index%
 If (state != -1) {
  WinGetClass, class,% "ahk_id" list%A_Index%
  If class not in Progman,WorkerW,Shell_TrayWnd
  {
   MsgBox,% class "`tis not minimized."
   return
  }
 }
}
SendInput, {F4}
return

Hopefully you realize that there's no WinMinimize command in the code I posted, so I don't think it's possible the code I posted did that unless you modified it, in which case we need to see your code.

Thank you for the code! My script is still not working every time the way I want it to, but now I'm into / learning AHK and running some tests.
