hello, I want to run a flow A, which returns the instance of an open window, after this return I want to manipulate this window in flow B
In flow A:
1). ”Get Window Title” to %SharedWindow%
2). ”Set Environment variable” %EV_SharedWindow% to %SharedWindow%
In flow B:
1) ”Get Environment Variable” %EV_SharedWindow%
2) “Focus Window” %EV_SharedWindow%
MichaelAnnis, thanks for the answer, I tried it the way I did but it seems that the tool has a bug when passing window instance as parameter, but passing this way %AutomationWindow.Handle%
works, does this happen to you?
I am not sure as I not completely familiar with the properties of a window. What I do know is you can do things during the PAD flow to change the title. For example, saving an excel file after opening it may change the window title from “Title .xlsx - Excel” to “Title.xlsx - Saved” - Excel. This may be why it didn’t work. So, if .handle is working, great. It probably won’t change like the title would. Glad you were able to figure it out.
