"Window becomes active" event Topic is solved

[Spitzi]

My solution so far is with a Timer:

Code: Select all

SetTimer(CheckActiveState, 500)

CheckActiveState() {
	static wasActive := false
	if WinActive("Hanging-Manager") {
		if !wasActive {
			ToolTip("Activated")
			wasActive := true
		}
	} else {
		if wasActive {
			ToolTip("Deactivated")
			wasActive := false
		}
	}
}

Is there an easyer way to detect when a window becomes active?
