Is there an command i can use on cmd to switch to/focus on selected app window?
Lets say i have three apps working: A, B, C and currently i m focused on B. Is there a command (not shortcut) to switch to/focus on app A?
Maybe can i do it with batch?
Im working on windows.
My solution in this gist is very much based on @npocmaka's answer, but it gives a more complete and exact answer to the OPs specific question (I had to incorporate a couple more references to get to this): it activates and restores the named app if it is already running, or starts it if not.
I'll repeat the code here for completeness - replace the image name of the app and the path required to start it as you need:
@if (@X)==(@Y) @end /* JScript comment
@echo off
setlocal
for /f "tokens=2" %%i in ('tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq Fork.exe" ^| find /I "Fork.exe"') do set pid=%%i
if "%pid%" == "" (
%localappdata%\Fork\Fork.exe
) else (
cscript //E:JScript //nologo "%~f0" "%~nx0" "%pid%"
)
exit /b %errorlevel%
endlocal
@if (@X)==(@Y) @end JScript comment */
var sh=new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
if (sh.AppActivate(WScript.Arguments.Item(1)) == 0) {
sh.SendKeys("% r");
}
