ActiveWindow hidden when Wait

[MBorn]

Hello,

a script is running and working in the internet explorer.
When it goes to WAIT the Automation Anywehere Window comes
to the front and the (important) Internet Explorer window is hidden
in the back.
Whith the function ActiveWindow=Internet Explorer before WAIT it
does the same.
Has anybody an idea how to keep the Internet Explorer window
in the front on WAIT/Resume?
Thank you,

Born

Hello,

To keep the Internet Explorer window active, you can use the following commands in Automation Anywhere instead of Pause command.

If "Untitled - Notepad" Window Exists <Wait up to 9999 seconds for the window to open>
Close Window "Untitled - Notepad"
End If

So basically what this will do is pause the task for large amount of time and it will continue once the notepad window opens.

You can use Launch-n-Go or windows shortcut key feature to assign a shortcut key like Ctrl + Alt + N to open notepad when you want to resume the task. This way you can simply type the hotkey to resume the task.

We have attached a sample task for your reference. Please copy it under location, 'C:\...\My Documents\Automation Anywhere\Automation Anywhere\My Tasks' folder. Create hotkey to open notepad. Run the task using RUN button. When the task is waiting for notepad window to open, hit the hotkey to open notepad. Then the task would close the notepad window and would play, Ctrl+End in currently active window ie in the Internet Explorer window.

Hope this helps!
