auto pause script when chrome is maximized.

[zcw1030]

hi, i got some code from others help. it will auto maximize chrome window if it is active.

but, if i click any extension button on top right corner of chrome, the window that popup will also be maximized.

so, is there anyway to fix this issue? for example, pause the script if chrome is already maximized.

thx a lot!

Code: Select all

Loop {
   WinWaitActive, ahk_class Chrome_WidgetWin_1 ahk_exe chrome.exe
   WinMaximize
   WinWaitNotActive
}

Code: Select all

Loop {
    WinGetPos, x, y,,, ahk_exe chrome.exe
    if(x == -8 && y == -8) {
        Pause
    }
    ;Sleep, 25
}

^ should work, but ahk uses a lot of cpu when looping like this, i advise you to put a timer of 25 or 50 ms to reduce cpu usage

Loop {
    GetKeyState, MBCS, LButton, P
    WinGetPos, x, y,,, ahk_exe chrome.exe
    if(MBCS != "D" && x == -8 && y == -8) {
        Pause
    }
}

since who knows, maybe you are hovering your app around. this will detect if you have your mousebutton down to prevent false-detection
still advise you to use a delay to avoid high cpu
