Hi all,
I used "w32-shell-execute" to open apps, documents, and folders in a
very nice little menu, eg:
(w32-shell-execute "open" "C:/WINDOWS/System32/calc.exe")
Then I discovered that, for applications, this always opens a new
instance instead of switching to an existing copy. Just what I need, 14
copies of Calculator running. :-)
So okay, I can use w32-window-exists-p to see if the app is already
running. Now is there a way to activate the app from lisp?
Thanks --
David
