Program to set hotkey to bring WoW Clients to front?

[LancerX]

Iv tried this before with keyclone and although it works , it just does not work as fast as id like and I will explain what im trying to do. I play five clients all full screen window mode, I have five hotkeys setup to change leaderand what not, so I wanted a way to switch clients just like as if I was clicking the wow bar on the bottom taskbar. If I click on it on the bottom it switches instantly to the client I want to go to, and during heated pvp I just dont have time to be clicking on different things while fighting. I was thinking you could do this with my autohotkey but not sure. I know Keyclone can do this but it's PIP function swaps the windows which can take a second or two and with me hitting buttons in combat sometimes this cancels the window swap or either it just is not fast enough or sometimes it just starts flashing instead of swapping. So I was wandering if there is a way I could basicly set up a hotkey to bring the window of a client to the front just as if I just clicked it with my mouse on the taskbar? Anyone know if this can be done or how , it would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hotkeynet works instantly for me but I'm only working with two clients.

Instantly going from one full-screen window to another full-screen window? I didn't think that was possible.

Ppppthffft! For some, yes. For some, no. It wasn't possible until you told me it was. nya nya

Lol, that was a serious question. Is that really happening? I thought Windows always shifts back to the desktop between full-screen game windows. I just timed it on this PC (with a 256mb XT1950pro) and it takes about 3.5 seconds. If there's a way to do it fast, I'd like to know. Especially if my own program is doing it. I just hate it when my programs know more than me !!!

With my PC I run 5 wow clients in windowed mode but maximized. I click on the bottom client to change clients and it switches instantly to the client I switch on, works good like that so I will check out that software to see if it can do that.

Windowed mode is totally different. The original poster asked about full-screen mode, and that's what I'm asking about too.

Edit: oops he actually said "full screen window mode." I'm not sure what he's referring to.

Actually I am the originall poster and yea what I said was full screen window mode which is my retarded way of saying windowed mode maximized hehe. Sorry about that. I downloaded your program and kudos on the nice work. Im not to familiar with those hotkeys so I will just ask you and maybe you can just point me in the right direction. Is it possible for me to run your program and set up 5 hotkeys for my 5 clients so when I press 1-5 hotkey it will bring one of my clients to the front as if I had just clicked on the client in the bottom taskbar. Again keep in mind I am running window mode maximized. Is this possible? Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.

Doh, sorry Lancer, you ARE the original poster! I need to cut down on the caffeine ... or up the caffeine .. or something.

K is right, you can use HotkeyNet to bring windows forward. The speed should be exactly the same as with the mouse because HKN and the mouse call the same internal Windows function. Your hotkeys should use the HKN keyword "SetForeground."

Like K said, Toggle works also but it only switches back and forth between two windows. If you want to use Toggle I'll make it cycle through any number of windows. I've been planning to make that improvement all along but was waiting for somebody to ask for it.

Ok great man thanks a ton. So I will take my 5 wow clients and rename the windows so I can use the <TargetWindow window> command correct? Then I just need to figure out how to make the macro's so when I press f1 it calls window wow1 and so on through f5. I think it may look something like this below.

<Hotkey F1>
<SendPC local>
<TargetWindow WoW1>
<SetForeground>

Is this right? and is it case sensitive?
