Hi Guys,

Here is what I would like to achieve:

I have 4 windows, of the same type and class. What I would like to do is give them each a colored border. (Red, Yellow, Blue Green)

Is this possible?

Its part of another script that detects new instances of windows, and then moves them into a specific location.

They are currently Notepad windows while I test it, as they load quickly.

Ideally, it would detect when a new window is created, and then assign it a color.

It could be a border, or i guess it could change the color of the title bar?

Once I work out how to do the border, i think the rest of it will be within my skill, I just dont know how to do the border. Laughing
Code:
SetBatchLines, -1
Process, Priority,, High

Gui +LastFound
hWnd := WinExist()

DllCall( "RegisterShellHookWindow", UInt,hWnd )
MsgNum := DllCall( "RegisterWindowMessage", Str,"SHELLHOOK" )
OnMessage( MsgNum, "ShellMessage" )

win = 0
Return

ShellMessage( wParam,lParam )
   {
      Global
      If ( wParam = 1 ) ;  HSHELL_WINDOWCREATED := 1
         {
            WinGetClass, new_class, ahk_id %lParam%
            If  ( new_class = "Notepad" )
               {
                  ;MsgBox, A new notepad window was opened.
                  time%lParam% := A_TickCount
               }
         }

   }

if you could retrieve the location the window moves to as well as its height and width.........


Code:


bDimh = 22 ; Change this to desired size.
bDimw = 22
Gui, -Caption Border AlwaysOnTop ToolWindow
Gui, Color, C0C0C0
Gui, Show, NA W%bDimh% H%bDimw% X%xPos% Y%yPos%, hitBox

WinWait, hitBox



should draw a box around it...just put those values into bDimh, bDimw, xPos, and yPos


oh and change the color

What poker site are you building this for?

It can be adapted for windows instead of drag boxes.
