Find if a window is open.

I am trying to find out if a window is running. Dow the FindWindow function work in VBscript?

If not, how can I find if a window is running using VB script?

Better en more window commands can be found in a 3rd party tool :
"AutoIt". I use, with success, version V3.0.102.
It is very easy to use and you can manage a lot of things with
windows which you can't do with vbs.
Search with Google, I should say.

Good luck !

yes, AutiItX3 is a DLL that add all these function to VBS script. A must have, but the DLL must be installed and registered (regsrv32) on the computer before using the script.

Thanks for all the help, however I found a way to do it with just Windows Script. The AppActivate method returns a boolean value if the application if running. Here is the code to check if an app is running.

--

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

a = WshShell.AppActivate("Application Title") 'this will still give focus to the application
if a = true then
msgbox "Application is running"
else
msgbox "Application is not running"
End if

In the beginning I tried to find all scripting solutions within VBScript,
so without 3rd party software. But, I found that the VBScript window
manipulation was not always reliable, leading to sometimes "surprising"
results, especially in case of using the "sendkeys" command (dangerous).
I started carefully with AutoItX support and the experience with it
was very good.
So I can recommend the use of AutoItX, for all kind of window manipulation.
B.t.w.,Fredledingue, I mixed up AutoItX and AutoIt, I use versions 1.51 and
3.0.102, respectively.
