Module Activity functions
These functions are used to manage a project's various runtime modules — such as background tasks, the
data server, and the project viewer — as well as those modules' interactions with the operating system.
AppActivate
AppActivate is a built-in scripting function that activates (i.e., brings to the front) another application
window that is already open.

Value Command Description
0 SW_HIDE Hides the currently active window and then
activates the specified window.
1 SW_SHOWNORMAL Activates and displays the specified window.
If the window is minimized or maximized,
then it is restored to its original size and
position.
You should use this command when
displaying a window for the first time.
2 SW_SHOWMINIMIZED Activates the specified window and then
minimizes it.
3 SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED Activates the specified window and then
maximizes it.
4 SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE Displays the specified window, but does
not activate it. If the window is minimized or
maximized, then it is restored to its original
size and position.
5 SW_SHOW Activates and displays the specified window
in its current size and position. This is similar
to SW_SHOWNORMAL except that if the
window is minimized or maximized, then it
remains in that state.
6 SW_MINIMIZE Minimizes the specified window and then
activates the next open window.
7 SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVATE Displays the specified window as a
minimized window, but does not activate it.
8 SW_SHOWNA Displays the specified window in
its current size and position, but
does not activate it. This is similar to
SW_SHOWNOACTIVATE except that if
the window is minimized or maximized, then
it remains in that state.
