Another API sample. Check window states and bring it to foreground:

Code:

TITLE Windows states..   by Dr. Dread

REM Set the title of your test window
%%window = "new file - metapad"

REM Check if it's actually there
if @winexists(%%window)
  %W = @strdel(@WINEXISTS(%%window),1,)
else
  info The window @CHR(34)%%window@CHR(34) does not exist! Aborting..
  stop
end

REM Load user32.dll
LOADLIB User32.dll

REM Check if the target window is not responding
%A = @lib(user32,IsHungAppWindow,BOOL:,%W)
if %A
  %%Ames = yes
else
  %%Ames = no
end

REM Check if the target window is minimized
%B = @lib(user32,IsIconic,BOOL:,%W)
if %B
  %%Bmes = yes
else
  %%Bmes = no
end

REM Check if the target window is maximized
%C = @lib(user32,IsZoomed,BOOL:,%W)
if %C
  %%Cmes = yes
else
  %%Cmes = no
end

REM Check if the target window is visible
%D = @lib(user32,IsWindowVisible,BOOL:,%W)
if %D
  %%Dmes = yes
else
  %%Dmes = no
end

info Window @CHR(34)%%window@CHR(34):@CR()@CR()Hung: %%Ames@CR()Minimized: %%Bmes@CR()Maximized: %%Cmes@CR()Visible: %%Dmes

REM Bring target window to foreground
if %B
  REM Restore from minimized
  %X = @lib(user32,OpenIcon,BOOL:,%W)
else
  REM If not minimized, then just bring it forward
  %X = @lib(user32,SetForegroundWindow,BOOL:,%W)
end

Good example Dread.
You can use the Window Class too, which is more reliable if you have it.
Code:

%%window = #Notepad

What does the 'visible' parameter mean? It's not that a window is on top or something... Neutral

Visible means it's restored, whether it's behind another window or not.

Nope, it has nothing to do with 'on top' - visible is more like 'not hidden'. Try to run a WINDOW HIDE on
your target window, then its visible state should become No.

How about a trip to the zoo? You can pet the Prakash's penguin.
