Trying to activate Microsoft Teams window

[CaptainBeardsEyesBeard]

Hi, 

 

I'm trying to activate this window (just scrubbed out the name in the title) 

 

With Teams it puts in the user name of the Title (making it annoying to automate)

so I'm trying to use WinGetHandle to activate the window. I don't get error in the console log though. 

Am I activating the window correctly? 

$appHandle = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:Chrome_RenderWidgetHostHWND1]")
$appHandle2 = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:Chrome_WidgetWin_1]")
WriteToConsoleAndLog("Activating window for $appHandle")
WinActivate($appHandle)
If @error then
   Msgbox64, "", "Can't see teams")
   WriteToConsoleAndLog("Error activating window $appHandle")

endif
WriteToConsoleAndLog("Activating window for $appHandle2")

WinActivate($appHandle2)
If @error then
   Msgbox64, "", "Can't see teams")
   WriteToConsoleAndLog("Error activating window $appHandle2")

endif
exit

And this is the console output. As you can see it does not hit the @error statements

The Teams window does not activate

Maybe try:

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", -2)     ; Matches any substring in the title, Case insensitive

and search for the window by name:
 

$appHandle = WinGetHandle ( " | Microsoft Teams" )
WinActivate( $appHandle )

Note that the Class for Teams is also shared by Chromium browsers. Edge, Chrome and Brave (to name a few) all have Class Chrome_WidgetWin_1
