WinGetEnabled [v2.1-alpha.1+]

Returns a non-zero value if the specified window is enabled.

IsEnabled := WinGetEnabled(WinTitle, WinText, ExcludeTitle, ExcludeText)

Parameters

WinTitle, WinText, ExcludeTitle, ExcludeText

Type: String, Integer or Object

If each of these is blank or omitted, the Last Found Window will be used. Otherwise, specify for WinTitle a window title or other criteria to identify the target window and/or for WinText a substring from a single text element of the target window (as revealed by the included Window Spy utility).

ExcludeTitle and ExcludeText can be used to exclude one or more windows by their title or text. Their specification is similar to WinTitle and WinText, except that ExcludeTitle does not recognize any criteria other than the window title.

Window titles and text are case-sensitive. By default, hidden windows are not detected and hidden text elements are detected, unless changed with DetectHiddenWindows and DetectHiddenText; however, when using pure HWNDs, hidden windows are always detected regardless of DetectHiddenWindows. By default, a window title can contain WinTitle or ExcludeTitle anywhere inside it to be a match, unless changed with SetTitleMatchMode.

Return Value

Type: Integer (boolean)

This function returns 1 (true) if the specified window is enabled, or 0 (false) if disabled.

Error Handling

A TargetError is thrown if the window could not be found.

Remarks

When a window is disabled, the user cannot move it or interact with its controls. In addition, disabled windows are omitted from the alt-tab list.
