Targeting windows for commands
« on: March 18, 2022, 07:01:50 AM »
Hello i have two issues;

With a program I'm using with VA, I want to target a specific apps window. how ever the windows name changes dependent on the file i have open. is there a way to get it to just pick up that i have the application open and have it not care about the title but the exe file instead? is there an option i need checked or a setting file to check this option on?

Also how can i issue commands to applications that have internal windows inside the main window?
Is this possible?

Thanks in advanced for any help.

Press F1 while VoiceAttack has focus to open VoiceAttackHelp.pdf in your default PDF viewer, which contains information on VoiceAttack's features.

Targeting can be performed using window title, process name, or window class.


Child windows can usually be targeted by commands, if they are normal (tool) windows.

The "Perform a Window Function" action uses a different targeting system than commands, and will generally only target top-level windows
