Check if a WinID is in a WinGroup Topic is solved

[JoeSchmoe]

Hello, folks...

I know the ahk_id of a window and I want to know if that window is in a specific ahk_group.

Is there a clever way to check?

Should "IfWinExist, ahk_ID %MyWinID% ahk_group %MyWinGroup%" work? It's not working for me. Wondering if I'm just missing something.

- The idea appears to work for me.
- Sometimes hotkey subroutines fail to run if the active window is admin, and AHK is not admin. Cheers.

Code: Select all

q:: ;test ahk_id combined with ahk_group
DetectHiddenWindows, Off
GroupAdd, WinGroup, ahk_class Notepad
GroupAdd, WinGroup, ahk_class IEFrame
vWinGroup := "WinGroup"
WinGet, hWnd, ID, A
hWnd1 := WinExist("ahk_group " vWinGroup)
hWnd2 := WinExist("ahk_id " hWnd " ahk_group " vWinGroup)
MsgBox, % hWnd1 "`r`n" hWnd2
return

Thanks, jeeswg, I modified your code and it's working now!
