I have an application, MadCap Flare, that decides afer some unknown duration that I need to re-log in to the platform. I frequently open the app via project shortcuts — like opening an .xlsx or .docx file to open Excel or Word. When the app starts via shortcut and it's time log in, the Login window is hidden. I'm trying to force this Login window to the front of all appication windows, but I can't find a way to accomplish that.

Suggestions?

Thanks! :)

Toggle always on top twice and it will be visible and returned to its original state.
Run Function: Toggle Window Always on Top

Maybe move it to the center of the screen for good measure.
Center Window on Monitor


Tie these to a Trigger that looks for your login window by text or class. (Drag the crosshair to the login window to prefill)

Thanks for the suggestion. I found the function and added it twice to the trigger. Unfortunately, adding the function doesn't help. I used Window text, I tried window class, I tried the executable. Nothing grabs this likely-in-limbo screen when the application is started this way — it may not even be generated yet. It's as if the application wasn't designed to open via a project file like any other normal application does.

Anyway, thanks again.

Try adding a really high "Delay before checking match condition" value, something like 10,000 ms, and see if that works. You can also add a "Show notification" action, if that appears then you know the match condition is detecting the window properly.

I included all your suggestions. The window just is not available. Bad application progamming, unfortunately. Thanks for your help, though! :)
