Autoit dead loop problem - deadlock

In SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio), you have to middle-click the tab or press Ctrl+F4 to close the current editor tab. I want to use Autoit to make a shortcut Ctrl+w do the same thing. But I have problem with it. The following is the code. What I thought is, when the user press Ctrl+w, check if the user is in SSMS, if so, send Ctrl+F4 to close the current tab, if not, send Ctrl+w to let it go as normal. But the point is, if you send Ctrl+w, it will be captured again by Autoit, so dead loop occurs. I can't find a way to solve this problem. Anyone can help me with it?
Thanks.

How to open the browser in collapsed form?

The code:
Local $iPID=ShellExecute("C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe", "","","", #SW_MINIMIZE);
How to open the browser in collapsed form?
; Optional debugging feature.
Opt('TrayIconDebug', True)
; Run Firefox if not running.
If Not ProcessExists('firefox.exe') Then
ShellExecute('"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"')
EndIf
; Wait for a window to match the class.
WinWait('[CLASS:MozillaWindowClass]')
$hFirefox = 0
$iAbort = 5
Do
Sleep(1000)
; Get all class windows into an array.
$aWList = WinList('[CLASS:MozillaWindowClass]')
For $i1 = 1 To UBound($aWList) -1
; Get the visible window from the window handle.
If BitAND(WinGetState($aWList[$i1][1]), 2) Then
$hFirefox = $aWList[$i1][1]
_WinState($aWList[$i1][1], $aWList[$i1][0], True)

EndFunc
Even if you set a Firefox shortcut to minimize and use it
to start Firefox, Firefox may not minimize at startup.
This is why the show flag of #SW_MINIMIZE for the
ShellExecute function may not work.
A -tray argument exists though I cannot get it to work as
mentioned in Command Line Options.
To minimize at startup, the code provided may help.
It will find the 1st window that is visible of the class
MozillaWindowClass, and will attempt to minimize it.
The variable $hFirefox may contain the handle of the
visible Firefox window which can be used after the Do
loop has complete.
Some code is optional, i.e. _WinState() is used to output
debug information to console to know if the the window search
for the visible window is working OK.

How to run custom function in a specific window and work in background?

I wrote a script using AutoIt.
The problem is to run it in background so that I can use my desktop for other work.
I used _ImageSearch() which usually works on an active window.
Is there any way to call such a function in background? Here is my code:
WinActivate('Window Title')
$x = 0
$y = 0
If _ImageSearch('searchButton.PNG', 1, $x, $y, 20) = 1 Then
Return 1
ElseIf _ImageSearch('bundle.PNG', 1, $x, $y, 20) = 1 Then
Send('{ESC}{LCTRL}{LCTRL}{LCTRL}')
sleep(1000)
Else
Send('{LCTRL}')
EndIf
Write a script that runs continuously and call the image search with a hotkey:
HotKeySet('+!e', '_endScript') ; terminate the script with SHIFT+ALT+E
HotKeySet('+!i', '_searchImage') ; calls the image search function with SHIFT+ALT+I
; main loop
While True
Sleep(50)
WEnd
Func _endScript()
Exit
EndFunc
Func _searchImage()
; your image search stuff
EndFunc
But it may be that the other application blocks your hotkeys. Try it.

Autoit starts app without focus

Using AutoIt 3.3.14.2 to start Entrust etunprot.exe application. The Entrust application starts, but does not have focus. After the application starts the AutoIt script is supposed to enter the password, but doesn't because of no focus. When I click on the application to give it focus then the password is entered and the script continues and finishes successfully. I originally used WinWaitActive and replaced it with WinWait and WinActivate to try and fix the problem. Here is the code:
; Terminate script if no command-line arguments
If $CmdLine[0] = 0 Then Exit (1)
Run("C:\Program Files\Entrust\Password Unprotect\etunprot.exe " & $CmdLine[1])
WinWait("Entrust Password Unprotect", "OK")
WinActivate("Entrust Password Unprotect", "OK")
; Enter the password text
Send("password")
; Submit the password
Send("{ENTER}")
WinWait("Entrust Password Unprotect", "Enter name of output folder")
WinActivate("Entrust Password Unprotect", "Enter name of output folder")
; Enter the name of the output folder
Send($CmdLine[2])
; Unprotect the enp file
Send("{ENTER}")
Try
WinWait("Entrust Password Unprotect", "")
WinActivate("Entrust Password Unprotect", "")
Try this to get the Windows of your process. Maybe it helps you out.

Close windows in reverse order of creation

I have a program with a main window and multiple other windows and want to use autoit to close these windows. The main window however refuses to close if other windows of the program are open and creates a warning message.
To avoid this, I want to close the other windows first.
Because of the way the program is written, the windows are NOT in a parent-child relationship, so I cannot use "EnumChildWindows" in "user32.dll".
So my other option would be to obtain the order or time the windows were created at, and close them in reversed order. Is there any way to do this?
You can try to get it by the process. The function below will return the z-order of the windows, as far as I know, without you tracking the "creation time" of the windows themselves from within your own code, you won't get a solution that can do that.
#include <WinAPIProc.au3>
#include <WinAPISys.au3>
#region - Example
Global $gahWnd[3]
For $i = 0 To 2
$gahWnd[$i] = GUICreate("Example " & $i)
GUISetState(#SW_SHOW, $gahWnd[$i])
Next
Global $gaExample = _WinGetByProc(#AutoItPID)
If #error Then Exit 2
Sleep(3000) ; so you can at least see the windows were created
; windows are returned in the "last z-order"
; so they'll be returned "Example 2, Example 1, Example 0"
; This makes it easy to close all but the first one
; use -1 to keep the first window created
For $i = 1 To $gaExample[0] - 1
ConsoleWrite("Closing: " & $gaExample[$i] & ":" & WinGetTitle($gaExample[$i]) & #CRLF)
WinClose($gaExample[$i])
Next
Global $gaMsg
While 1
$gaMsg = GUIGetMsg(1)
Switch $gaMsg[1]
Case $gahWnd[0]
Switch $gaMsg[0]
Case -3
Exit
EndSwitch
Case $gahWnd[1]
Switch $gaMsg[0]
Case -3
GUIDelete($gahWnd[1])
EndSwitch
Case $gahWnd[2]
Switch $gaMsg[0]
Case -3
GUIDelete($gahWnd[2])
EndSwitch
EndSwitch

AutoIT WinWaitActive doesn't uderstands that window is active

I want to get pixel color from a game and react.
So I have this sript:
#include <Color.au3>
Local $pause = False;
$WinName = "Game" ; Let's say there is a game with this name =)
$hwnd = WinGetHandle($WinName) ; Checked handle with powershell and Au3Info, handle is correct
local $res
Opt("PixelCoordMode", 2);
HotKeySet("{F10}", "exitNow");
HotKeySet("{F11}", "Pause");
While 1
;WinWaitActive($hwnd) ; The script stops here if it is uncommented no matter if window is active or not
if ( $pause ) Then
$res = GetPos();
ConsoleWrite ( StringFormat ("Result color: %s %s", $res[0], $res[1] ) )
Sleep (1000)
EndIf
WEnd
Func exitNow()
Exit
EndFunc
Func Pause()
$pause = Not $pause
EndFunc
Func GetPos()
local $var = Hex(PixelGetColor(5, 5, $hwnd)) ; Only works in windowed mode, FullScreen return some random colors like 00FFFFFF or 00AAAAAA
$var = StringTrimLeft($var,2) ; Removing first 2 numbers they r always 00
local $var1 = Hex(PixelGetColor(15, 5, $hwnd)) ; Only works in windowed mode, FullScreen return some random colors like 00FFFFFF or 00AAAAAA
$var1 = StringTrimLeft($var1,2) ; Removing first 2 numbers they r always 00
local $result[2] = [ $var, $var1 ]
return $result
EndFunc
Main script should before window is active and only then should try to GetPixelColor but that never happens, no matter what I do, i've tried WindowActivate still no result.
a) - What am I doing wrong ? Or may be there is another way to check if window is currently active ?
So at the moment I start script disabled, and when I activate window manually I press F11 to enable.
b) - PixelGetColor only works if game is running in Windowed mode, if it's a fullscreen mode result is unpredictable. Is there a way to make PixelGetColor work in fullscreen.
I've tried to run game x32, x64, DX9 and DX11 in different combinations Fullscreen result is just wrong.
ADDED:
Now While looks like this and that works :)
Thanks to Xenobeologist!!!
While 1
$hwnd = WinGetHandle('[Active]');
If ( $pause ) Then
If WinGetTitle($hwnd) <> $WinName Then
Pause()
ContinueLoop
EndIf
$res = GetPos();
ConsoleWrite ( StringFormat ("Result color: %s %s", $res[0], $res[1] ) )
Sleep (1000)
Else
If WinGetTitle($hwnd) = $WinName Then
Pause()
ContinueLoop
EndIf
EndIf
WEnd
a) is now solved
b) is still not solved. One more thing, topic of this question doesn't say anything bout this question, should add info bout this into the topic or it's better to start a new thread? a) was my main question, it would be prefect to solve b) as well but I can live without it. As far as I understood it's much more complicated. What do you think?
ADDED2:
As far as I understand problem b) can be solved by using more complex code. Here http://www.autohotkey.com/board/topic/63664-solved-imagesearch-failure-wdirectx-fullscreen-gamewin7/ was discussed pretty same problem. It's AHK and ImageSearch function, but im pretty sure that the reason I get wrong colours in fullscreen is the same. I don't want to complicate code that much and PrintScreen is too slow so I'll use windowed mode and wont be bothering with b).
Does this help?
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
$handle = WinGetHandle('[Active]')
ConsoleWrite('!Title : ' & WinGetTitle($handle) & #CRLF)
ConsoleWrite('!Process : ' & WinGetProcess($handle) & #CRLF)
ConsoleWrite('!Text : ' & WinGetText($handle) & #CRLF)
Sleep(Random(10, 3000, 1))
If WinActive($handle) Then MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "", "WinActive" & #CRLF & "Scite ")
