Find window, controls, activate

To create wnd.find code can be used:

• Tools in the Code menu: Find window (Ctrl+Shift+W), Input recorder.
• Hotkey Ctrl+Shift+Q.
• Snippets winFindSnippet, actWinSnippet. You can see window properties in panel Mouse.

Find window and create variable w1 that contains window handle. Window name must end with "- Notepad"; class name must be "Notepad". Can wait/retry max 1 s; exception if not found. Activate when found.

var w1 = wnd.find(1, "*- Notepad", "Notepad");
w1.Activate();

Find window with no name, class name "Shell_TrayWnd", program "explorer.exe". Exit if not found.

var w2 = wnd.find("", "Shell_TrayWnd", "explorer.exe");
if (w2.Is0) return;

Function wnd.findOrRun opens window if does not exist. Also activates.

var w3 = wnd.findOrRun("* Notepad", run: () => run.it("notepad.exe")); //if not found, run "notepad.exe"
print.it(w3);

Get the active window.

var w4 = wnd.active;

Get the mouse window.

var w5 = wnd.fromMouse(WXYFlags.NeedWindow);
//w5 = wnd.fromXY(mouse.xy, WXYFlags.NeedWindow); //the same

Find all windows classnamed "Notepad" of program "notepad.exe".

var a1 = wnd.findAll(cn: "Notepad", of: "notepad.exe");
foreach (var v in a1) {
	print.it(v);
}

Get all visible windows.

var a2 = wnd.getwnd.allWindows(onlyVisible: true);
foreach (var v in a2) {
	print.it(v);
}

A window can contain child windows, also known as controls. This code finds a child window. Exception if not found. When found, moves the mouse cursor to its center.

var w6 = wnd.find(1, "*File Explorer", "CabinetWClass");
var c1 = w6.Child(1, cn: "SysTreeView32", id: 100); // "Navigation Pane"
mouse.move(c1);

To create wnd.Child code can be used the same tools as for wnd.find.
