Firefox tab window focus problem

Post by katalonija2 » Thu Mar 10, 2011 7:03 pm

How to focus tab window with name for example "[macro]" when i have two other apps with same name becouse open doc files are named macro?

So, i have three apps with "[macro]" text in title.
I tried "[macro] - Mozilla Firefox" but can not be found even if it is in tools>view system windows.

I can focus firefox,but there are other tabs...

------------------------------------------
I do not use VBscript,only macros internal commands.


P.S.I tried [macro] - Mozilla Firefox* as maybe child is problem...nothing...


What is best macro method (non vb) for focusing windows of app.
And how to focus javacript:xxx....x...x.x.x.x popup window with combo box to fetch what is in pulldown option menu?

You can't focus hidden tabs.

What you need to do is scroll through the tabs with the hotkeys CTRL+Tab and use IfWindowOpen.

Something Like this

Code: Select all

Label>ScrollTabs
Wait>1
SetFocus> - Mozilla Firefox*
Press CTRL
Press Tab
Release CTRL
Wait>1
IfWindowOpen>[macro] - Mozilla Firefox
//Do Something if it's the correct tab
Endif
Goto>ScrollTabs
