Window.Restore help

[MigLeader]

hi there i have made a program that blocks the desktop and every key combination for the user yet provides a nice interface to to let him pick what game he want (i have a computer gaming center) and i have did a lot of coding but i faced a big problem:

i have used the SSides dll's to block the keys but when i run a game inside this game i can use these keys that SSides dll's ave blocked , and i have made a script when the user press a button to launch a game it removes any other buttons on the application so that they dont run two or more games at the same time , but if he run a game then press CTRL+ESC the game will minimize and he will get stuck because no buttons are visable to him unless he quits the game.

so i did a button to make the game maximize but it didn't work as i want here its code.

processes = Window.EnumerateProcesses();
pro = {};
pro[1] = "BF2.exe";
pro[2] = "CoD2MP_s.exe";
pro[3] = "CoD2SP_s.exe";
pro[4] = "cstrike.exe";
pro[5] = "quake3.exe";
pro[6] = "Transformers.exe";
pro[7] = "AirRaid.exe";
pro[8] = "Tqit.exe";
pro[9] = "Onslaught.exe";
pro[10] = "hl2.exe";
pro[11] = "Game.exe";

for i = 1, 11 do
Window.Restore(pro[i]);
Window.Maximize(pro[i]);
Window.Show(pro[i]);
end

these codes are in the on click tab on the button

note : the pro = {} is the names of the games EXE's that run in the taskmaneger


thanks

Well you're trying to restore a window without parsing a windowhandle but a string.

Windowhandle=Application.GetWndHandle();

Window.Restore(Windowhandle) 
Window.Show(Windowhandle) 
Window.Maximize(Windowhandle)

You could try to fetch all titles and handles using

Windows=Window.EnumerateTitles(true);
if(Windows)then
    for handle, title in Windows do
        --Actions using the windowhandle
        Window.Restore(handle)
        Window.Show(handle)
        --etc...
    end
end

hi there
it works as i want thanks , but it search for all titles in the task manager , how can i make it search only for titles i write for like these:

pro = {};
pro[1] = "BF2.exe";
pro[2] = "CoD2MP_s.exe";
pro[3] = "CoD2SP_s.exe";
pro[4] = "cstrike.exe";
pro[5] = "quake3.exe";
pro[6] = "Transformers.exe";
pro[7] = "AirRaid.exe";
pro[8] = "Tqit.exe";
pro[9] = "Onslaught.exe";
pro[10] = "hl2.exe";

Application.GetWndHandle accepts no arguments, it returns the Window Handle for your application. That's it.

if you search the forum for Close Multiple Instances you'll find more information about this.
