Centre and Focus Outlook Reminder Windows
Return to DisplayFusion Scripted Functions (Macros)

Description

This is a script that loops in the background, looking for new Outlook reminder windows that need to be brought to the front of the z-order. This is a workaround because Window Created Trigger rules don't work with Outlook, due to the fact that they re-use window handles from closed windows.

Language

C#.net

Minimum Version

9.7+
