The only thing I changed in the script was changing Window.Maximize to Window.Focus. This whole script now meets my needs perfectly, and I've also used it for Outlook and a few other programs.

Thank you again!!

That was going to be my response as well :)

@Charlie: Let us know if you have any trouble setting up Pablo's scripted function. ]]> RE: Question: Maximizing an opened program with same key that opened it https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-maximizing-an-opened-program-with-same-key-that-opened-it/?ID=8d33c333-3385-49e8-841f-d17ee484baa7#2 Wed, 26 Apr 2017 17:15:38 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-maximizing-an-opened-program-with-same-key-that-opened-it/?ID=8d33c333-3385-49e8-841f-d17ee484baa7#2 DisplayFusion You can use a simple script. This script checks to see if Firefox is running and if it is running, it maximize the window, otherwise it starts Firefox. Set your path to the Firefox in code and don't forget to add a "Key Combination".

Code
Copy
Select All

using System;
using System.Drawing;

public static class DisplayFusionFunction
{
    public static void Run(IntPtr windowHandle)
    {
        var wHnd = BFS.Application.GetMainWindowByFile("*firefox.exe");

        if(!wHnd.Equals(IntPtr.Zero))
            BFS.Window.Maximize(wHnd);
        else
            BFS.Application.Start(@"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe", "");
    }
}


Maybe Keith will write about other ways. ]]> Question: Maximizing an opened program with same key that opened it https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-maximizing-an-opened-program-with-same-key-that-opened-it/?ID=8d33c333-3385-49e8-841f-d17ee484baa7 Wed, 26 Apr 2017 05:32:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/question-maximizing-an-opened-program-with-same-key-that-opened-it/?ID=8d33c333-3385-49e8-841f-d17ee484baa7 DisplayFusion Hi Keith/all,

I'm hoping you can provide some insight on how to make a certain operation work.

Essentially, I have Alt+F hotkeyed to open Firefox. However, when I minimize Firefox (and do other tasks), if I hit Alt+F again, DF launches a newinstance of Firefox.

How can I have DF work such that when I hit Alt+F (when Firefox is already open but is minimized or behind other windows) Firefox is then maximized/brought to the forefront (and nothave Alt+F open a newinstance of Firefox)?

I've taken a quick look around the forum to see if such a topic was discussed previously, but I could not find anything.

Thank you for any help,

Charlie ]]>
