this is my routine i can run with a hotkey

Code: Select all

AOT:
	Winset, Alwaysontop, , A
	return

Hallo,
try:

Code: Select all

DllCall("RegisterShellHookWindow", "UInt", A_ScriptHwnd)
OnMessage(DllCall("RegisterWindowMessage", "Str", "SHELLHOOK"), "WinActivated")
Return

q::WinActivate,% PreviousWin ; activates the previously active window

WinActivated(wParam, lParam)
{
	Global ActiveWin, PreviousWin
	If (wParam = 4 OR wParam = 32772) ; WINDOWACTIVATED
		PreviousWin := ActiveWin, ActiveWin := "ahk_id " lParam
}

WinActivated is always called when a window becomes active and remembers this (= ActiveWin) and the previous one (= PreviousWin)

WinActivated is always called when a window becomes active and remembers this (= ActiveWin) and the previous one (= PreviousWin)

works like a charm thank you, i ended up using it like this (with the dllcall in startup section and the function waaaaay down)

Code: Select all

AOTButton:
	WinActivate,% PreviousWin ; activates the previously active window
	Winset, Alwaysontop, , A
	return
