• event - Window event to monitor. Valid values are: Exist, Active, Show, Hide, Move, Minimize, Maximize, NotActive/!Active, Close/NotExist/!Exist, CloseAll/NotExistAll/!ExistAll
• WinTitle - see WinTitle. Due to limitations, ahk_group GroupName is not supported directly. To specify a window group, pass an array of WinTitle(s) instead. OnWin() uses A_TitleMatchMode and A_TitleMatchModeSpeed.
• callback - Function name, Func object or object. The callback will receive an event object with the ff properties: Event and Window, as its first argument.

Exist     - Window exists regardless of whether if it's visible or not
Active    - Window is active, waits for window's existence if it does not exist
NotActive - Window is not active
Close     - Window does not exist, matches the top window only if multiple windows match the cirteria.
Show      - Window is visible, waits for window's existence if it does not exist
Hide      - Windows is not visible or does not exist.
Minimize  - Window is minimized, waits for window's existence if it does not exist
Maximize  - Window is maximized, waits for window's existence if it does not exist

boiler wrote:Another question: I don't see Resize as an event. Will a resize of a window without its x,y changing trigger the Move event?

Guest wrote:It is a good practice when making a function/class to include version (of your script/class/function) and links to your code as a comment top of the file.

This is going to be useful, thanks.

I guess I'll start now. Will make the changes on the next commit.
