Parameters

The green input connector triggers the block when the flow reaches it, and the green output connector triggers when the window details are retrieved successfully.
Title: Outputs the title of the open application window.
Parent process name: Outputs the process name associated with the open application window.
Interaction state: Outputs the window’s current interaction state.
Visual state: Outputs the window’s current visual state.
Is modal: Outputs True if the window is modal, otherwise False.
Is topmost: Outputs True if the window is the topmost window, otherwise False.
Can maximize: Outputs True if the window can be maximized, otherwise False.
Can minimize: Outputs True if the window can be minimized, otherwise False.
Window: Specifies which application window to read details from. Typically, this window handle is provided by a Start Application or Use Window block.
Not found: Triggers if the window cannot be found within the allowed time.
Default timeout: When selected, the block uses the default timeout configured in the flow settings. When not selected, a Timeout (sec) field is available so you can set a custom timeout.
