Some script questions

[reluct]

Code: Select all

$1::
PixelGetColor, color, 56, 284, RGB
If color = 0x008000
{
    WinRestore, ahk_exe AkelPad.exe
    IfWinNotActive ahk_class QWidget
    {
        WinActivate, ^.*Engvidshortcut.*$
    }
    Send 1
    ControlClick, x60 y150, ahk_class QWidget,, Left, 1, NA

1. Why does WinActivate, ^.*Engvidshortcut.*$ work even though there is no SetTitleMatchMode, RegEx command at the beginning of the script?
2. Why does WinActivate, ^. * Engvidshortcut. * $ оnly work if I use IfWinNotActive ahk_class QWidget? (ahk_class QWidget and WinActivate, ^. * Engvidshortcut. * $ are equivalent).
3. Why does WinRestore, ahk_exe AkelPad.exe restore the window only if the command WinMinimize, ahk_exe AkelPad.exe was used before? If I just minimize the window by clicking in the upper right corner, then WinRestore, ahk_exe AkelPad.exe does not work.
4. And the last question, why is ControlClick, x60 y150, ahk_class QWidget,, Left, 1, NA not working if the window is not active?

@1. Works for me correctly.
@2. Definitely wrong syntax. Generally wrong syntax might work sometimes.
@3. Works for me, but:

If a particular type of window does not respond correctly to WinRestore, try using the following instead:
PostMessage, 0x112, 0xF120,,, WinTitle, WinText ; 0x112 = WM_SYSCOMMAND, 0xF120 = SC_RESTORE

@4.

NA avoids marking the target window...~. However, this method might not work for all types of windows and controls.

P.s: Don't be too picky!

Sorry did not see the message
What will the correct syntax look like?

@1. Correct, @2. Wrong.
