Description

A window action simulates some kind of window change by a user. Generally speaking, this includes anything that could occur when the title bar of a window is interacted with.

Parameters

Step Subtype

The specific operation to be performed. It can be one of the following values.

Value	Meaning
Maximize Window	Maximizes the window with the specified name.
Restore Window	Restores (un-maximizes) the window with the specified name.
Minimize Window	Minimizes the window with the specified name.
Close Window	Closes the window with the specified name.
Bring Window to Front	Puts the window with the specified name in front of all other windows.
Send Window to Back	Puts the window with the specified name behind all other windows.

Window Name

The name of the window to perform the operation on.

Remarks

If the given window name cannot be found in the list of desktop windows, an error will occur. If multiple windows of the same name exist, the FindWindow Windows DLL function that is used to get the window reference seems to return the window that is highest in the Z order (the window that is closest to the front).
