Hi!!

I have this simple script I use for minimizing or hiding a game who only works in full screen mode:
It is an autohotkey script....
Code:

LControl::
Suspend, Permit
    if first_time_lctrl=0
    {
    WinHide,ahk_id %hwnd_game%
    SW_FORCEMINIMIZE=11
    hWnd=%hwnd_game%
    DllCall("SetForegroundWindow", "UInt", hWnd, "int",SW_FORCEMINIMIZE)
    ;WinMinimize,ahk_id %hwnd_game% (this not always works...)
    first_time_lctrl=1
    return
    }
    if first_time_lctrl=1
    {
    WinShow,ahk_id %hwnd_game%
    WinMaximize,ahk_id %hwnd_game%   
    first_time_lctrl=2
    return
    }
    if first_time_lctrl=2
    {
    WinShow,ahk_id %hwnd_game%
    WinRestore,ahk_id %hwnd_game%   
    first_time_lctrl=0
    return
    }

Inside a game who does not let use alt-tab, this hide, minime and maximize the game, so I may able to use other applications.

Under xp, vista, seven (both 32 and 64) it works 99,99%.

But under windows 8.1 (not try win Cool it does NOT!!!!!

Any ideas about?



Thanks

You are probably best off asking for support on the AutoHotKey forum if something works on one OS and not another. It may be a bug with their code then.

Oh Yes!!
Maybe a bug in autohotkey, now I try to re-write this little piece in Visual c++.
Thanks for suggestion.
Bye Very Happy
