Restore Method

Restores an application window or the current Newlook session.  Corresponds to the Restore action.

System.Restore([Application])

Client support

   Newlook Smartclient only.

Use

If the application's window is maximized or minimized, it will be restored to its default position, otherwise Restore simply ensures it is visible.  

Arguments

Application - (String, Optional)

String value specifying which application to activate.  This can be the executable name for the application or the screen title for the application.  In determining which application to activate the specified application is compared to the executable name of each running application.  If no match exists, the specified application is compared with the title of each running application. If no exact match still exists, any application whose title string begins with Application is activated. If an application still cannot be found, any application whose title string ends with Application is activated. If more than one instance of the application named by Application exists, one instance is arbitrarily activated.  If no application is specified then the current Newlook window is used.

Returns

No return value.
