Find Word, Excel or PPT Windows and manage them

[desti77]

Hi folks,

i want to check if i have an open Excel/Word/Powerpoint Window on my Desktop. When i ll find one i want to manage it e.g. save the document. I got three objects in my repository and if my script will find the window, i want to manage it by referencing the object from my repository to my objOfficeApp variable:
My approach for finding the windows works. Here my script:

Code:

[font=Courier]If Window("regexpwndclass:=OpusApp").Exist  Then
        Set objOfficeApp = Window("Microsoft Word")
        Exit function
    end if

    If Window("regexpwndclass:=PP10FrameClass").Exist  Then
        set objOfficeApp = Window("Microsoft PowerPoint")
        Exit function
    End If

    If Window("regexpwndclass:=XLMAIN").Exist  Then
        set objOfficeApp = Window("Microsoft Excel")
        Exit function
    End If[/font]

[font=Arial]And now i want to manage the window:[/font]

[font=Courier]objOfficeApp.Activate
...[/font]

But that doesnt work. I think i make a mistake in referencing my found object window with my variable.
Do u have any advice for me to solve my issue?
Important: My Testcases can open one of these Applications (e.g. Excel, Word, PPT) and i want to find (that works) and manage the window! Is there another (maybe better) approach?

Thanks in advance
Stefan

Use descriptive programming while you set your object for the documents. there could be difference in properties in OR and the document opened.
