Set focus onto a specific window using VBScript
Is there a way to set the focus onto a specific window using VBScript ?
Window name should be settable by something.
(Not an additional program such as AutoIT or so)
(Windows 7 Pro)
windows-7 batch cmd.exe vbscript

AppActivate method available in VBScript can do this
Example to focus on Notepad is below:
Dim ObjShell :Set ObjShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
ObjShell.AppActivate("Notepad")
You can also wrap this around an HTA application to set program on the fly.
