is it possible to identify the active window ? Problem: i try to control two or three windows, which are parallel open in the same programm and have - depending on the active window - different function on the same buttons. The method "find windows" allways find the window even if its not active.

Re: identify active window
Use the tasks pluing, Task.*.Activated and Task.*.Deactivated will let you know whats in focus and when focus changes. Combined with some exclusives and you should be good to go.

Re: identify active window
is there a special action for the task-plugin (haven't found) ?
Re: identify active window
No just add the plugin an watch the log as you min/restore the applications of interest to you.

Re: identify active window
Be a bit more specific, I didn't understand whether you have:
1. A single program running that has multiple windows inside the same program. In that case the task switch plugin wont notice when you change windows inside the same program.
2. Multiple instances of one program, but you just can not target the right one with the 'find window' action.
Knowing the above would help troubleshoot your problem.

Re: identify active window
thank you for answers.
the programm uses multiple instances (like the tabs in IE or firefox), so the task-action doesn't work for my purposes.
Any other ideas ?
