Group two windows so they get focus together. Possible?
Target:
Probably because it parents the window to the taskspace window, and the bot is looking for that window as a top-level window. But still a pretty cool app- thanks for the info for my needs :)-wraith808 (January 28, 2014, 05:24 PM)

that's what I assumed
I really like the concept, it's something that had been in the back of my mind for a while (there's a fair bit of empty space back there...)
Now I'm going to have to do some further testing and report back

@Target: I love the concept. I wish I could find out why it doesn't work on my system...
urlwolf:
Looks like it only works on 32 bit win 7 :(

compatibility mode?
Target:
OK, so I've just done a little bit more testing on this and it's looking less and less attractive.
same scenario (excel, bot, and target app), and this time the bot started, but
* when an excel dialog came up, I couldn't get at it, nor would excel respond in any way
* the bot started, but the run time dialog (basically just 2 buttons) was outside of the app
* the only way I could seemed to be able to get my apps back out of the group was to quit taskspace, but doing that resulted in an excel session without any menu bars
I never got as far as extracting any data as I couldn't control what was going on
could be this might work fine for things like editors or browser windows, though the dialog box issue would be a big question mark for me as I suspect any app might suffer from the same affliction
