I'm trying to remap a couple keys for Windows Mail, but ahk_exe isn't working. I used Process Explorer to find the name of the executable. Here's my script:
#IfWinActive ahk_exe HxMail.exe
f7::f9 ; Refresh
Ins::^n ; New email
#IfWinActive
The window's name is different depending on which account I'm using. How can I fix this?

Possibly try disabling (commenting out) the
#IfWinActive(i.e., make the hotkeys global temporarily) and make sure the key remaps work as expected. Possibly double-check the window name with Window Spy and not just PE, you can start Window Spy from the right-click menu of the tray icon of your script. Verify the expected exe for a given window. Verify capitalization of the exe is correct in your script. You can also utilizeahk_classin many cases where you need to detect a variety of window names that are the same type of window. – JJohnston2 – 2017-01-29T23:30:06.250Key remaps worked as expected without
#IfWinActive. Window Spy pulled up this:ahk_class ApplicationFrameWindow ahk_exe ApplicationFrameHost.exe. It appears to be the same for all Universal apps. – Zenon – 2017-01-31T17:42:13.037@JJohnston2 Is there a way to check if the name of the window contains "Mail"? – Zenon – 2017-01-31T17:43:34.500

1No, it will only apply to universal apps with 'Mail' in the title, not all of them. If you need to be more selective there has to be a title or class difference. One final method in lieu of that is to check for a certain control type to be active, if the controls aren't all generic. – JJohnston2 – 2017-02-01T18:07:46.383
Gotcha, but it doesn't work. The title of the window is
Inbox - Outlook - Mail. Could it be that the title doesn't start with Mail? – Zenon – 2017-02-02T19:09:26.500https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/SetTitleMatchMode.htm – JJohnston2 – 2017-02-02T20:21:45.483
Still doesn't work. – Zenon – 2017-02-02T23:23:40.410
