Hi Very Happy

I know CodeScript has posted a lot of Api Stuff but i cant
restore a 1024x768 Window (that hides taskbar too)
to normal state. Its topmost or something !

What im want in detail is:
Display my App Window over a Game Window without to
press ALT+TAB and switch back to windows.

But the Game wont let me because its topmost.


Thanks for any help in advance ! Smile

Code:
LOADLIB USER32
%H = @strdel(@WINEXISTS(#TFORM),1,1)

if %H
 %H = @lib(user32,SetWindowPos,bool:,%H,-2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3)
 goto EVLOOPI
else
    ERROR -1
  end
 FREELIB USER32
 end


Try this - Obtain the Name or class name* of your game window using window spy of VDS. immediately after this make your window topmost.

Of course your game may be checking if it is topmost window under a timer. If this is the case then there is nothing much that could be done.
Let me know what happens.
*Use @WINATPOINT if the window has notitle and also has a class name shared by other game windows e.g a game contorl panel. You can safely assume that the window at the center of your screen is the game window if it's class name matches with the game window class name.
