"Unhides" the specified hidden window. "Unhiding" a previously hidden window causes the window to become visible again so that it can be seen and interacted with. NOTE: The only way to access a window that has been hidden is to Unhide it first. Keystrokes and mouse clicks cannot be sent to Hidden Windows.
Generally used to unhide (make visible) a window that has been previously hidden using the Hide Window <AMWINDOWHIDE> action or using the "Window Startup" parameter as "Hidden" [WINDOWSTARTUP="hidden"] in the Run <AMRUN> action.
Specifies the title of the Window to unhide. The value is case-insensitive. This parameter supports wildcards (* and ?), for example "*Internet Explorer* would include all Windows containing that text. Note: If this parameter is left blank the action assumes it is searching for a Window title that is blank - to ignore the WIndow title, use *.
Specifies the class of the Window to act on. The value is case-insensitive. This parameter supports wildcards (* and ?), for example "*Internet Explorer* would include all Windows classes containing that text. Note: If this parameter is left blank the action assumes it is searching for a Window class that is blank - to ignore the WIndow class, use *.
Specifies the handle of the Window to act on. If set to 0 or omitted the parameter is ignored.
The contents tab contains standard Windows dissection parameters used to describe controls or text inside a window. These parameters are the same on every action that specifies a window and are documented under Window Dissection Parameters.
