Ok I am going to making a script with multiple GUIs and I found how to detect if the script is shown or not using WinExist (Thank you jaco), however, using this method is not going to work for multiple GUIs because it is the same label in the WinExist using AHK class or name. My question, does anyone have another method or can they give me a little advice here how to distinguish between multiple GUIs in the AHK class or by some other means so I might not trigger one GUI if I really intended for another?

Sorry if this seems a bit confusing. What I am trying to do is make strips of transparent red cover the screen in certain places if the pixelsearch returns true in that region (A warning the blue is there...) By doing this I am going to have 13 "strips" of GUI which will be individually triggered by the pixelsearch and I don't want a GUI triggered if the blue isn't in that region.

This is my code for the first strip and it works fine, however it is only one strip and I am going to need to do 12 more. I have no idea how to get a handle on each of them to detect if they are hidden already or not. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I suggest not trying to detect IF they are hidden/shown.
I suggest using a system of flags to keep track of which gui/window is shown or hidden.
If you hide a window, set the variable value to mean 'hidden'.

You could use my random naming function for each new GUI.

See here (Last example): http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=332693#332693

I created this to do somewhat the same thing your trying to do. It was for multiple GUI's being used as graphs. I'm sure it would not be too hard to mod it for your use.

The 2 things to add would be GUI number increments and then perhaps assigning the new random name to an array that can be used as the GUI title.

Once again leef, you're amazing. Smile

Don't know why I didn't think about flag variables before.... I used them in my last project....

Thank you also TLM, both of you guys are awesome. Cool

Your random function reminds me of mine: RandomVar()
