#IfWinActive v.s. if WinActive() Topic is solved

[dsewq1LYJ]

Hello everyone.

I got one really weird question...
My script is not "clear" and maybe not efficient, because I am using #IfWinActive foo and If WinActive() at one single script...
and now I want to improve my script better and more clearer, but which one is faster ?

Code: Select all

;~ 1
#IfWinActive foo
^c::return
#If
#IfWinActive bar
^c::return
#If

;~ 2
^c::
if WinActive("foo")
	return
else if WinActive("bar")
	return
return

The second example is quicker, because it will not install a keyboard hook (negligibly) interrupting input and will not execute on the up event of the key. However it will not do what you want, so you have to use the first snippet of code, as only that will make the hotkey conditionally do nothing for two applications and not interfere otherwise.
The second example will always override the native function regardless of the application, check for two applications and do nothing in those cases and otherwise default to doing nothing also; breaking the copy functionality.
