Focuses (brings to foreground/front) the specified window so that it may receive Keystrokes or mouse clicks. Most applications are already focused at startup making this action only necessary when working with multiple applications in a single task or applications that were not started by the same task.
Focus is used to switch between active applications. Since applications are already focused (in the front of other windows) when they start -- specifying a focus step every time an application is started can be superfluous.
Specifies the title of the Window to focus. The value is case-insensitive. This parameter supports wildcards (* and ?), for example "*Internet Explorer* would include all Windows containing that text. Note: If this parameter is left blank the action assumes it is searching for a Window title that is blank - to ignore the Window title, use *.
Specifies the class of the Window to act on. The value is case-insensitive. This parameter supports wildcards (* and ?), for example "*Internet Explorer* would include all Windows classes containing that text. Note: If this parameter is left blank the action assumes it is searching for a Window class that is blank - to ignore the Window class, use *.
Specifies the handle of the Window to act on. If set to 0 or omitted the parameter is ignored.
When enabled, specifies that hidden (non-visible) windows should be included in the window search. By default hidden windows are considered unavailable.
The contents tab contains standard Windows dissection parameters used to describe controls or text inside a window. These parameters are the same on every action that specifies a window and are documented under Window Dissection Parameters.
