Syntax
public enum UnsafeWindowActivationMethodFields
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| AttachThreadInput | Uses AttachThreadInput to attach to input queue of target window (by Redmond Chen) A bad solution would be to use the AttachThreadInput function to connect the test automation tool’s input queue to the input queue of the target window. This is a bad solution because it means that if the target window has stopped responding, then the test automation will also stop responding. And it’s bad for a test to stop responding. The purpose of the test is to monitor the main application reliably, not to get into the same jail. |
| Auto | Select best activation method automatically |
| SendInput | Sends empty input message to target window to make sure that it is fully ready for activation |
