Wieldy is a wee program that allows the manipulation of Windows applications. It is intended for those who use interpreted languages of other packages and want to call batch files or other external programs to help them achieve certain effects, like run a program in the background or change its title. You can also use Wieldy to change the way programs are run from Program Manager, for example run Calculator always on top. You just let Wieldy execute your program and specify how the program is to be run.
To run Calculator in Restored size and change its title to Abacus, just run
WIELDY SR CALC , Abacus
Note that Wieldy is case sensitive only for the new title. Wieldy can also be used to close applications or to make them always on top:
(STARTAPP "WIELDY WT MS-DOS Prompt")
The above AutoLISP command keeps the DOS shell window on top of the window list.
Here is another example. When in File Manager click File|Run and enter
WIELDY WD File Manager
This destroys File Manager. When run without a program name, Wieldy lets you point at a window, assuming that you want to turn it into a topmost window.
Wieldy is very simple and has a restricted usefulness. It can easily be beaten by any of the common windows batch systems.
But, it is free and very small (22016 bytes), so for some purposes it is much faster to use Wieldy to iconize a window or to make it topmost, as in the example above, than to load a batch system and ask it to execute a one-line batch file. That is certainly not much. Anyway, it might help you to achieve simple window manipulation.
Wieldy is freeware. By downloading the installation file you accept the license agreement.
