Question: <\/strong><\/p>\n

When a program is at run time, can I give it focus and bring it to the foreground via scripts?<\/p>\n

Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Yes. To do so, use the script below:<\/p>\n

Sub<\/span> CommandButton1_Click()
\n‘Using Viewer method: ExecuteExternalApp
\n<\/span>Set <\/span>S<\/span>ervice = GetObject<\/span>(“winmgmts:”<\/span>)<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

strProgramPath = “C:\\Windows\\system32\\calc.exe”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

For Each<\/span> Process in <\/span>Service.InstancesOf(“Win32_Process”<\/span>)
\nIf <\/span>Process.Name = “calc.exe”<\/span> Then<\/span>
\nrunning = True<\/span>
\nEnd If
\nNext<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

If <\/span>running Then
\n<\/span>\u00a0MsgBox <\/span>“Calculator is already being executed!”
\n<\/span>
\nSet <\/span>WshShell = CreateObject<\/span>(“WScript.Shell”<\/span>)
\nWshShell.AppActivate “calculator”<\/span>
\nnewkeys = “% R”<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ‘Maximiza objeto ativo
\n<\/span>\u00a0WshShell.SendKeys newkeys
\nElse
\n<\/span>\u00a0Application.ExecuteExternalApp strProgramPath, “”<\/span>, “”<\/span>, 1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ‘Can be replaced by objShell.Run strProgramPath
\n<\/span>End If<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

End Sub<\/span><\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>NOTE<\/b>: You can also issue this command with\u00a0 Shell<\/b> object (see the application attached to this article).
