SwitchTo(applicationName)

Activates a specified running application.

Syntax

Parameters

applicationName: Name of a running application executable file, not including the .exe extension. Case insensitive.

Remarks

If the taskbar contains an instance of applicationName (case insensitive), that instance becomes the active application. Otherwise, this function aborts the calling command and displays an error message in the Vocola Log window. It also errors out if the specified application does not become active within 5 seconds.

Examples

CopyStart a Web search

Web Search = SwitchTo(firefox) {Alt+g};

This command makes Firefox the active application and puts focus in the Google search box.
