Keywords:  winexename  

---

Here's a script to activate an executable when you know the executable name but not the windowname.

App="notepad"	 ;app name without exe on the end.
List=winitemize()
count=itemcount(list,@tab)
for i= 1 to count
	this=itemextract(i, list, @tab)
	thisexe=winexename(this)
	thisexe=fileroot(thisexe)
	if stricmp(app, thisexe) == 0 
		winactivate(this)
		break
	endif			     
next
