Try this line instead: BFS.Window.Focus(BFS.Window.GetWindowByText("Zoom Meeting")); ]]> RE: Anyway to assign shortcuts to immediately bring SPECIFIC App to Focus? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/anyway-to-assign-shortcuts-to-immediately-bring-specific-app-to-focus/?ID=499c68a9-837f-4b73-8c06-49c07df80930#5 Wed, 22 Mar 2023 14:57:26 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/anyway-to-assign-shortcuts-to-immediately-bring-specific-app-to-focus/?ID=499c68a9-837f-4b73-8c06-49c07df80930#5 DisplayFusion I'm also looking to bring the Zoom meeting window to the front, but putting in the window text "Zoom Meeting" (as it appears in the window title bar) throws the following error:

using System;
using System.Drawing;

public static class DisplayFusionFunction
{
public static void Run(IntPtr windowHandle)
{
BFS.Window.Focus(BFS.Application.GetMainWindowByText("Zoom Meeting"));
}
}

"'Application' does not contain a definition for 'GetMainWindowByText'" ]]> RE: Anyway to assign shortcuts to immediately bring SPECIFIC App to Focus? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/anyway-to-assign-shortcuts-to-immediately-bring-specific-app-to-focus/?ID=499c68a9-837f-4b73-8c06-49c07df80930#4 Sat, 18 Apr 2020 01:35:33 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/anyway-to-assign-shortcuts-to-immediately-bring-specific-app-to-focus/?ID=499c68a9-837f-4b73-8c06-49c07df80930#4 DisplayFusion Does the active conference window have something in the Window Title that would identify it uniquely from the main window? If so, you could use this instead:

Code
Copy
Select All

BFS.Window.Focus(BFS.Application.GetMainWindowByText("*unique window title text*"))

When I use the zoom.exe file it focuses on the zoom application window, but not on the active video conference in progress. ]]> RE: Anyway to assign shortcuts to immediately bring SPECIFIC App to Focus? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/anyway-to-assign-shortcuts-to-immediately-bring-specific-app-to-focus/?ID=499c68a9-837f-4b73-8c06-49c07df80930#2 Wed, 05 Sep 2018 23:49:51 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/anyway-to-assign-shortcuts-to-immediately-bring-specific-app-to-focus/?ID=499c68a9-837f-4b73-8c06-49c07df80930#2 DisplayFusion On the Settings > Functions tab, you can add a Scripted Function that would do this. Here's some sample code for bringing Excel to the front:

Code
Copy
Select All

using System;
using System.Drawing;

public static class DisplayFusionFunction
{
    public static void Run(IntPtr windowHandle)
    {
        BFS.Window.Focus(BFS.Application.GetMainWindowByFile("*excel.exe"));
    }
}


Hope that helps! ]]> Anyway to assign shortcuts to immediately bring SPECIFIC App to Focus? https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/anyway-to-assign-shortcuts-to-immediately-bring-specific-app-to-focus/?ID=499c68a9-837f-4b73-8c06-49c07df80930 Fri, 31 Aug 2018 17:11:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/anyway-to-assign-shortcuts-to-immediately-bring-specific-app-to-focus/?ID=499c68a9-837f-4b73-8c06-49c07df80930 DisplayFusion RE: Windows 10 - Hi, I typically run a dozen apps at a time (not unusual, I know) but I really would like it if I could assign a specific shortcut (eg, Win-5, or CTRL-E) so that the App buried under the other dozen apps would move to the top and be the focused app. I do know about ALT-Tab and Desktops but, for example, I'd like to immediately switch my focus to Excel, or Firefox, or whatever. I'm having much trouble figuring out how to accomplish this (I think) simple thing. I was thinking maybe this was something - if Win10 can't do natively - that DisplayFusion (or one of the company's apps) could do but I don't see how. Thanks for any and all help! ]]>
