An script that autohide the taskbar (win7) when you're in a program like (potplayer)?

[DeepMind]

I need an script that autohide the taskbar (win7) when you're in a program like (potplayer), but disable auto-hiding when you're not using potplayer.

[wolf_II]

Try this:

Code: Select all

WinHide, ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd
; do stuff
MsgBox
WinShow, ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd

I hope that helps.

In Win7 I need to hide the button too, check exact classNN with winspy.

Btw, too auto hide you can have a timer that has an ifwinactive, if you don't want to use a hotkey.

And how to do it in one file?

Code: Select all

If Unhide the taskbar <- ???
   WinHide, ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd
Else
   WinShow, ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd

[sexy69]

Can this be done with Else?

This will hide the taskbar within a second after a program of your choise is activated.

Code: Select all

timeBetweenChecks:=1000 							; Check every 1000 ms.
hideWhenThisProgramIsActive:="notepad++.exe" 		; Change to your program.
SetTimer,autoHide,%timeBetweenChecks%
OnExit, showWhenExitApp

Esc::ExitApp ; Escape exit program at any time, and unhides the tray window.

autoHide:
	IfWinActive ahk_exe %hideWhenThisProgramIsActive%
		WinHide, ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd
	else
		WinShow, ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd		
return

showWhenExitApp:
	WinShow, ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd
	ExitApp
return

; #Warn  ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.

OnShellMessage(wParam, lParam, tPar, fPar) {
	if wParam||lParam||tPar||fPar {
		sleep, 100
		IfWinActive, ahk_class Notepad    ; =======----------> change WinTitel or class to suits you
			WinHide, ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd
		else
			WinShow, ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd
	}
		wParam := lParam := tPar := fPar := ""
}

Nice! I'm gonna save that for future use. (Just needs WinShow on exit.)

Both work, but which is better?

A new problem.
I exchanged it:
WinHide, ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd
on:
run "D: \ _ PROGRAMS \ Hide Folders \ (off) .exe"
and include:
WinShow, ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd
on:
run "D: \ _ PROGRAMS \ Hide Folders \ (on) .exe", ahk_class

Now the cursor is blinking at 1 second and shows that it is busy.
One could do something about it?

Code: Select all

timeBetweenChecks:=1000
ProgramActive:="AkelPad.exe"
SetTimer,auto,%timeBetweenChecks%
OnExit, hide(on)
Esc::ExitApp

auto:
   IfWinActive ahk_exe %ProgramActive%
;      WinHide, ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd
      run, "D:\_PROGRAMS\Hide Folders\(off).exe"
   else
;      WinShow, ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd
      run, "D:\_PROGRAMS\Hide Folders\(on).exe"

return

hide(on):
{
;   WinShow, ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd
   run, "D:\_PROGRAMY\Hide Folders\(on).exe", ahk_class
   ExitApp
}
return
