* Represents mandatory fields to execute the workflow
Here’s an example of how the “GetFullWindowTitle” works in the workflow –
1. Drag and drop the “GetFullWindowTitle” activity onto the designer pane.
a. Double click on 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 launch. 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.”
i. Once you click on the "Save" button, the application's element will be stored
in the activity window.
2. Declare a variable to store the 'Result' of 'WindowTitle,' which only accepts the
'String' data type. Here, I am using the variable name 'GetWindowName.'
a. Drag and drop the 'Write Line' activity to view the result of 'GetWindowTitle.'
It will return the application name. Based on this result, we can add validation
to the workflow.
3. Now, execute the workflow to view the application name.
