How to get the front window name to trigger a proper action?

[fabien44]

Hello,

i would like to trigger an action depending on the mostfront window.

Here the scenario i want to implement:

Find frontmost window
If Window1 then jump to A
If Window2 then jump to B

How can i do this? I guess with python script but what would be?

Thanks in advance,
Fabien

Maybe something similar to what I used:

Find Window: ehshell.exe
Python Script:

Code: Select all

from eg.WinApi.Dynamic import (GetForegroundWindow)
if eg.lastFoundWindows and eg.lastFoundWindows[0] == GetForegroundWindow():
    eg.result = False
else:    
    eg.result = True

If successful jump to "AlphaNumpad1"

You could just trigger a new event with the window name + a prefix. Then just assign this this to another macro.

You may want to add the first event's name with eg.event.string, and also using the event payload instead of one long event string may be helpful..

Code: Select all

from eg.WinApi import (GetWindowText)
from eg.WinApi.Dynamic import (GetForegroundWindow)
eg.TriggerEvent('Foreground.' + GetWindowText(GetForegroundWindow()))

Just copying actions will get you the XML and command line, just add eg.plugins before most of them and it works.

Code: Select all

eg.plugins.Window.FindWindow(u'program.exe', None, None, None, None, None, False, 0.0, 0)
eg.plugins.Mouse.LeftButton()
