Can we please get a unique window class name?

Hi

It looks like XYplorer is using "ThunderRT6FormDC" as window class name which is not unique to Xyplorer because some other programs are using the same class name. Is it possible to get a unique class name? The reason I am asking is that I use AHK to do certain functions, like invoking XYp window, running certain shortcuts and it non unique window name causes conflict sometimes.

thanks

If you do not run multiple instances of XYplorer you could also identify XY using the PID. Doesn't help in the cases of # directives, but works fine elsewhere.

Code: Select all

Process Exist, XYplorer.exe
if (ErrorLevel)
  WinGet xyid, ID, ahk_class ThunderRT6FormDC ahk_pid %ErrorLevel%

Any particular reason? Programming environment limitation? Personal choice?

Both: I could do it with VB6 but it would be a lot of work.

I was under the impression that VB6 was still a viable development environment.
