RPA, How to switch or active application ?
+4Best answer by TarekMostafa
You need to use the command “Get step window handle” to capture the application(s) window(s) and put each in a variable (an image of the application screen must be recorded in this step)
Then you can utilize the command “Control Window State” and choose the option “bring to front” to switch between applications.
To check the status of actively opened applications, you can utilize the “check window state” command.
+4In additional, how to check each actively opened application status ?
I need to check that for avoid duplication opening application.

Thereafter check the return variable and confirm if it matches the browser type that you are attempting to identify.
You should use this command at the step end of the 1st step that has IE window recorded. If the IE browser window is opened and matches the step’s Windows properties, it should be automatically brought to front as the active application. And with that, the above command will help you verify the window. If you do not get the desired return result, then the next step is to use “Run Program” and launch IE again with the desired target URL.
