AppActivate Action

Activates an external application window or the current Newlook screen.

Parameters

Application  -  (Optional)

The name of the application to activate. Newlook attempts to find this application in two ways. It enumerates the top-level windows and will match either the first window found whose program name matches the Application parameter (e.g. Notepad.exe) or whose window title matches the Application parameter (e.g. "Untitled – Notepad"). If no application is found, then no window is activated. If this parameter is left blank, then the current top-most Newlook window is activated. To specify the application as an expression, prefix the application with an equals (=) sign.

Wait  -  (Required)

A Boolean value. If Yes is specified, the application will only become activated when Newlook itself has the input focus. If it doesn’t, the macro will wait until Newlook regains the focus before activating the specified application. If Wait is set to No, the specified application is activated immediately.
