Example

The following code example demonstrates uses of the ActiveWindow method. In this code activated the three windows. The first and the second are shown without parameter topMost (topMost is false). But the third window is shown on top of all.

// activate the first window just show it
string result = Emulator.ActiveWindow("First window");
// if was not any errors 
if (result == "ok" && !Emulator.ErrorDetected)
{
    // also activate the second window just show it but set the parameters topMost == false
    result = Emulator.ActiveWindow("Second window", false);
    // if was not any errors 
    if (result == "ok" && !Emulator.ErrorDetected)
    {
        // also activate the third window and show on top of all. Set the parameters topMost == true
        result = Emulator.ActiveWindow("Third window", true);
        // if all nice
        if (result == "ok" && !Emulator.ErrorDetected) return "All in openwork boss!";
        // if bad
        else return "Fail: The third window";
    }
    else return "Fail: The second window";
}
else return "Fail: The first window";

// activate the first window just show it
$result = ZennoLab\Emulation\Emulator::ActiveWindow("First window");
// if was not any errors 
if ($result == "ok" && !ZennoLab\Emulation\Emulator::ErrorDetected)
{
    // also activate the second window just show it but set the parameters topMost == false
    $result = ZennoLab\Emulation\Emulator::ActiveWindow("Second window", false);
    // if was not any errors 
    if ($result == "ok" && !ZennoLab\Emulation\Emulator::ErrorDetected)
    {
        // also activate the third window and show on top of all. Set the parameters topMost == true
        $result = ZennoLab\Emulation\Emulator::ActiveWindow("Third window", true);
        // if all nice
        if ($result == "ok" && !ZennoLab\Emulation\Emulator::ErrorDetected) return "All in openwork boss!";
        // if bad
        else return "Fail: The third window";
    }
    else return "Fail: The second window";
}
else return "Fail: The first window";
