Restoring a window with a !bang? Thread last updated on 2003-06-15 07:24:38

Anybody know of a module that will let you restore/minimize/maximize windows with a bang command, preferably one of the task/taskbar DLLs or something.

Thanks!

Do you want this to be applied all windows? LS has built-in !minimizewindows and !restorewindows .

The module I know offhand that has bangs to manipulate the active window is geekfunk.
There may be others, but I think they're just as old?

try one.dll or wndman.dll

Well, what I want to do is minimize/restore/maximize specifics windows, by using, say, their titlebar name or whatever. I'll look at one.dll and wndman.dll, thanks!

So uh... what are the "class" and "title" of a window. I mean, how do I determine them and whatnot...

look for an app called "winspy" or if you have msvs installed you'll have some tools in there that you can pull that information from.

use rabidvwm.dll (a wonderful module:)
load it and add a hotkey:
*Hotkey CTRL+WIN C !VWMExec !alert "^@wc^"

the hotkeys are of course your choice :)

just make an app active, use the hotkey and an alert appears which tells you the class of the window.

...or simply use !LiterunnerIdentify which can give you info about sub-windows too!

But you can still use the Egonz trick, or this extended one:
*Hotkey CTRL+WIN C !VWMExec !Execute [!LabelSetText "^@wt^"][!LabelClipBoard "^@wc^ "]

...to directly copy CLASS TITLE to the clipboard :)

...forgot to say that !LiterunnerIdentify is a !bang from literunner.dll
