* Represents mandatory fields to execute the workflow
Here's an example of how the “BringToFront” activity works –
1. Drag and drop the " BringToFront " activity onto the designer pane and set as
“StartNode.”
a. Double-click the activity.
b. Here we are choosing the "Select Active Application" option.
c. Click here to know “Link from Reusable Objects.
d. Choose the application you want to close. Here, we selected the "Calculator"
app.
e. Once you have chosen the "Active Application," the application's elements will
be stored in the "Spy" window, along with an "Image" of the application.
f. If you wish to add or remove any attributes, you can edit the "AttributesEditor."
In this case, we are not making any changes in the “Editor.”
g. Once you click on the "Save" button, the application's element will be stored in
the activity window.
2. When the application comes into focus, you can choose the respective option
'Maximize, Restore, or None' from the 'WindowState.' Here, I am going with the
default value of the 'Maximize' option.
Now, execute the workflow to view the output.
