Thanks Bob! I'll try setting it to restored first,but if that doesn't
work, I'll just keep pecking away at it!

essentially you have run into one of the joys of scripting. Especially with
UIA!
Somethings just don’t work as they should, especially when dealing with other
peoples applications.
I recently had an application with two list views. One UIA reported as only
allowing a single selection but it was possible to select multiple items and
the other that reported it could accept multiple but would only allow one.
The second of these that only allowed a single selected item when I used UIA
to query what was selected the application crashed every time.
So perhaps an alternative method:
I cant remember all the function names so you may need to check a lot of this!
hWnd = GetAppMainWindow(GetCurrentWindow())
hWnd = GetFirstWindow(hWnd)
iNumWindows = GetWindowHeirarchyX(GetLastWindow(hWnd))
While iNumWindows > 0
SendMessage(hWnd, 274, 61488, 0)
hWnd = GetNextWindow(hWnd)
iNumWindows = iNumWindows - 1
EndWhile
I have no idea what each of the send message parameters mean but it’s a line
that I have noted down and have used many times before.
You will obvs need to add your checking for the correct window.

Subject: [jawsscripts] Re: Using the SetWindowVisualState Method
Thanks Bob,
The function works perfectly until I run into a window that is minimized. The
only issue I'm having and can't get to work is the SetWindowVisualState to
maximize a minimized window when focus changes.

Move to the first child before iterating across the siblings.
You can use
While Walker.GoToNextSibling()
As this returns false when there is nothing to move to rather than limiting
your loop to an arbitrary number.
I think the FSUIA object also has a GetRootElement() option so you don't
need to get the walker to move there. Small difference but slightly more
efficient.
SetFocus and GetWindowPattern might need the brackets afterwards but it
wouldn't surprise me if it works without.

I'm still struggling with the SetWindowVisualState mmethod. I use
scripts using the following function to quickly move from one program
to another. Occasionally, the program I'm moving to is and I can't
interact with it. I haven't been able to set the visual state to
"maximized" when the focus moves to a minimized window. Again, any
help would be appreciated. Here's the function:
String Function MoveToProgram (string ByRef ProgramName)
var
Object MyObject = CreateObjectEx("FreedomSci.UIA", false,
"UIAScriptAPI.x.manifest"), Object MyTreeWalker =
MyObject.ControlViewWalker (), Object Pattern =
MyTreeWalker.CurrentElement.GetWindowPattern,
Int Safety = 1
MyTreeWalker.CurrentElement =
MyObject.GetElementFromHandle(GetAppMainWindow(GetCurrentWindow()))
MyTreeWalker.GoToRootElement
While Safety <=10
MyTreeWalker.GoToNextSibling
If StringContains (MyTreeWalker.CurrentElement.name, ProgramName)
SayString ("Moving to " + ProgramName)
myTreeWalker.CurrentElement.SetFocus
Pattern.SetWindowvisualState(WindowVisualState_Maximized)
Return
EndIf
Safety = Safety+1
EndWhile
EndFunction

I cant remember the line to declare the the UIA object so some lazy code
below:
hWnd = GetAppMainWindow(GetCurrentWindow())
Element = UIA.GetElementFromHandle(hWnd)
Two options:
PatternObject = Element.GetWindowPattern()
PatternObject.SetWindowVisualState(WindowVisualState_Maximized)
Or single line:
Element.
GetWindowPattern().SetWindowVisualState(WindowVisualState_Maximized)
Hope this helps

Good afternoon,
I'm hoping someone can give me an example of how to use the
SetWindowVisualState method to maximize a window. Thanks much.
