Restoring Minimized windows on separate monitors.
« on: December 10, 2022, 08:06:57 AM »
I am using VA in Elite Dangerous. I have 3 monitors and usually play in VR. Is there a way to restore a window that has been minimized to the taskbar. eg. I have VA on monitor 2 and use a 3rd party app on monitors 1 and 3. If the app on monitor 3 gets minimized, is it possible for me to restore it without having to use the mouse. A command to restore All windows on all monitors would work if thats possible, but restoring specific would be better.

Have you tried the "Restore" option of the "Perform a Window Function" action?

That should work on windows minimized to the taskbar.


Windows minimized to the system tray cannot be correctly restored or even targeted using this option, as Windows doesn't actually support minimizing to the system tray (this is not VoiceAttack-specific).
Applications "fake" the effect by hiding the window and showing a tray icon, and as such only the application the window belongs to can properly reverse that.
