Can't find window or can't perform actions on window.

Post by syndac »

I'm having trouble getting EG to recognize a window for an application I'm running, that or performing actions on it. I can't tell which.

I use Find Window and have tried the following actions: Bring to Front, Maximize, Restore, Move Window to...

None of them seem to work.

The application is uns.exe, a VPN application that is started/created with an application shortcut (.appref-ms). I've tried with other applications and it seems to work fine. Is it because it's an appref? It contains minimize, maximize, and a close button that all work within the app, itself.

For Find Window, I've tried using Search Invisible Items, just about every child window, using the "Wait up to..." option, trying the click and drag feature, and unchecking combinations of the Window Name/Class and Child Name/Class options.

Anything else I should try? I can't run the application again--it will create a second instance of it. Ideas?
