Hi,

Many Thanks

What is your goal?  There is probably an easier / better way to accomplish your final task, but to answer your question, here is a way to Alt+Tab (batch VB from bat) ... just put this code in a .bat or .cmd batch file and run:

Code: [Select]

@echo off
echo set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") >alttab.vbs
echo WshShell.Sendkeys "%%{TAB}" >>alttab.vbs
cscript alttab.vbs
del alttab.vbs

Thanks for the reply,

I want to auto refresh with a script file ran from the task scheduler, the focus on a open program on the desktop,the program in question is a logger program and if the focus goes off the program , it will not record the next hour ?,
 

Another question is it possible to auto-refresh to that program , if there is other programs open on the desktop ?

Code: [Select]

@echo off
echo set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") > Activate.vbs
echo WshShell.AppActivate("Window Title") >> Activate.vbs
wscript Activate.vbs
del Activate.vbs

Change Window Title to whatever the logger window uses. Another solution would be to sleep the vbscript and at regular intervals loop to re-activate the logger application.

Good luck.  8-)
