#IfWinActive Microsoft Photos full screen Topic is solved

[Mutinous]

Hello, i have this script working on Microsoft photos on windowed mode but not working if photos on full screen mode, using windows 11..

How i can make it work on full screen mode?

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive ahk_exe ApplicationFrameHost.exe, Photos
XButton2::
Send, {Right Down}
KeyWait, XButton2
Send, {Right Up}
Return

XButton1::
Send, {Left Down}
KeyWait, XButton1
Send, {Left Up}
Return

Best Wishes

N, its not working on full screen mode

Code: Select all

Settitlematchmode, 2


; to 

#IfWinActive ahk_exe ApplicationFrameHost.exe Photos

; or

#if winactive("Photos ahk_exe ApplicationFrameHost.exe")

; or incase

#if winactive("Photo ahk_exe ApplicationFrameHost.exe")

; or incase2

#IfWinActive ahk_exe ApplicationFrameHost.exe

After rechecking, I believe the main problem arises from the comma in your original #if statement. Removing it only and leave the rest should resolve the issue.

It’s best to list the title’s text first, per the WinTitle documentation.

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive Photos ahk_exe ApplicationFrameHost.exe

When using this method, the text of the title (if any is desired) should be listed first, followed by one or more additional criteria.

"#IfWinActive ahk_exe ApplicationFrameHost.exe" this line makes the sccript work with all microsoft apps not just the photos cuz they all come with same class and process, i did try #if with space like how u suggested and didnt work

i did try the title first, but it didnt work at all even in windowed mode

The windows spy shows that title text dispersed in full screen mode

[Mod edit: Removed img tags because they only work when the URL is to an image, not to a webpage showing an image (even though the link isn't really needed since the image was also provided as an attachment).]

Note that it's very important to to make sure your script has SetTitleMatchMode, 2 since the title doesn't start with the word "Photos".

aha, my bad, i have long script with many #IfWinActive sections, so i put SetTitleMatchMode, 2 before photos app part and this is why it didnt work, wasnt know it must be at the start of the script

Many thanks for your help

It needs to be executed, of course, and it won't be if it appears after a hotkey (unless the code flow is routed to it, such as in a labeled procedure, and even that isn't the correct approach when it's needed for #If directives). That's why it needs to be at the top. See Structure of a Script.
