Check window "show" state

[Exergist]

Currently the "Perform a Window Function" actions allow the user to change the "show" state of a given window or process based on its title information or process name, respectively. However there is not a way to obtain the show state of a given window. Below you will find a profile and associated C# inline function code for doing just that. The use cases may be narrow, but I figured I'd share it anyway.

Please note:

• In its current state this profile will not be able to search for hidden windows. An example of this is making the command search for "VoiceAttack" when VoiceAttack is minimized to the system tray. This is because the window handle (which is needed to make the inline function work) for a hidden window is more difficult to obtain than for a non-hidden window. There are ways around this, but I choose not to include this functionality at this time for the sake of simplicity.
• The profile is set up so that if there are multiple windows that have titles that match your search term only the last match (whatever is programmatically encountered last by the inline function) will be outputted to the event log. Though I've included some code lines (commented out) in the inline function that would output every result to the log. I figured folks would have a reasonably specific search term and then would want to pass that information back to VoiceAttack for further actions. Obviously feel free to change it however you see fit.

Cheers!

VoiceAttack Command Code:

Code: [Select]

// Define window title text you want to search for
Set Text [TitleSearchText] to 'Notepad'

// Define type of text search you want to perform (case sensitive or insensitive)
Set Boolean [TitleSearchSensitivity] to True

// C# inline function for obtaining window state for all windows containing title text matching TitleSearchText
Inline C# Function: Get window state for all windows matching search term, wait until execution finishes

// Output result of window title search and window state (if available)
// If the inline function finds multiple matches only the final match will be outputted here
Write '[Blue] Window Title = {TXT:FullWindowTitle} ; Window State = {TXT:WindowShowState}' to log
