Purpose:

This command will attempt to make a window the active one.

Format:

ACTIVATEWINDOW [WINDOW] <ROOT|Drawer name>

Template:

ACTIVATEWINDOW WINDOW

WINDOW

Either ROOT" to activate the Workbench root window (where volume icons and AppIcons live) or the fully qualified name of a drawer window to activate. Note that the drawer window must already be open.

If no WINDOW parameter is specified, this command will try to operate on the currently active Workbench window.

Errors:

10 - If the named window cannot be activated. The error code will be placed in the WORKBENCH.LASTERROR variable.

Result:

-

Notes:

If you choose to have a window activated that is not the root window you must make sure that the window name is given as a fully qualified path name. For example Work:" is a fully qualified name, and so is SYS:Utilities". Devs/Printers" would not be a fully qualified name. A fully qualified name always contains the name of an assignment, a volume or a device.
