Unminimizes or unmaximizes the specified window if it is minimized or maximized.
| WinRestore [, WinTitle, WinText, ExcludeTitle, ExcludeText] |
Parameters
| WinTitle | The title or partial title of the target window (the matching behavior is determined by SetTitleMatchMode). If this and the next 3 parameters are omitted, the Last Found Window will be used. If this is the letter A and the next 3 parameters are omitted, the active window will be used. To use a window class, specify ahk_class ExactClassName (shown by Window Spy). To use a process identifier (PID), specify ahk_pid %VarContainingPID%. To restore a group of windows, specify ahk_group GroupName (WinText, ExcludeTitle, and ExcludeText must be blank in this case). To use a window's unique ID number, specify ahk_id %VarContainingID%. The search can be narrowed by specifying multiple criteria. For example: My File.txt ahk_class Notepad |
| WinText | If present, this parameter must be a substring from a single text element of the target window (as revealed by the included Window Spy utility). Hidden text elements are detected if DetectHiddenText is ON. |
| ExcludeTitle | Windows whose titles include this value will not be considered. |
| ExcludeText | Windows whose text include this value will not be considered. |
Remarks
If a particular type of window does not respond correctly to WinRestore, try using the following instead:
PostMessage, 0x112, 0xF120,,, WinTitle, WinText ; 0x112 = WM_SYSCOMMAND, 0xF120 = SC_RESTORE
This command operates only upon the topmost matching window except when WinTitle is ahk_group GroupName, in which case all windows in the group are affected.
Window titles and text are always case sensitive. Hidden windows are not detected unless DetectHiddenWindows has been turned on.
