Nested #IfWinActive Topic is solved

[MauroG]

Is it possible to use nested #IfWinActive? I'm trying this code:

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive Calibre
ENTER::
{
	Send {ENTER}
	Sleep 250
	#IfWinActive ahk_exe explorer.exe
	{
		Gosub, CheckErrorLevel
		Return
	}
	Return
}

where the idea is, if Calibre is active and I press Enter, the script send Enter; then, if after 250 ms an Windows Explorer windows has become active the script runs a subroutine, otherwise does nothing. If I run this script, it runs only if Calibre is active, but runs the subroutine despite an explorer.exe window being active.

Code: Select all

#IfWinActive Calibre
ENTER::
{
	Send {ENTER}
	
	;Sleep 250
	;#IfWinActive ahk_exe explorer.exe
	
	WinWaitActive, ahk_exe explorer.exe,,0.3 ; wait for 0.3sec until this win is active. It fails if not active after 0.3 sec
	if (! ErrorLevel)
	{
		Gosub, CheckErrorLevel
		Return
	}
	Return
}

Thanks, it works; why it doesn't works with #IfWinActive?

I think because you cannot have 2 active windows at once.

Cheers!
