Please let us know if you run into any trouble after updating.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Switch to App or Open App https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/switch-to-app-or-open-app/?ID=faa88319-b971-47fa-ac52-8c6aa67be547#2 Fri, 04 Jan 2019 18:50:17 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/switch-to-app-or-open-app/?ID=faa88319-b971-47fa-ac52-8c6aa67be547#2 VoiceBot Looks like there might be an issue with the IsAppRunningByAppID function. When it's not running the appID is 0, but that function still returns true for some reason.

I've put this on our list to fix up, in the meantime you can work around it by doing this:

Code
Copy
Select All

using System;
using System.Drawing;

public static class VoiceBotScript
{
    public static void Run(IntPtr windowHandle)
    {
        uint appID = BFS.Application.GetAppIDByFile("*notepad++.exe");
        if (appID > 0)
        {
            BFS.Window.Focus(BFS.Window.GetWindowByText("*Notepad++*"));
        }
        else
        {
            BFS.VoiceBotActions.StartProgram(@"C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe");
        }
    }
}

This is what I have and i can get get either statement to run seperately or both to run at the same time. Doesn't seem the If - then is working correctly. Anyone know where i went wrong here? thank you.

        if(BFS.Application.IsAppRunningByAppID(appID)){
            BFS.Window.Focus(BFS.Window.GetWindowByText("Blender*"));
        }
           {
               BFS.VoiceBotActions.StartProgram(@"C:\Blender 2.8\blender.exe");
