Argument Description
MenuItem The name (as displayed in the menu) of the menu or menu item to open. This value
is case-sensitive.
Example
This example displays the File menu and then selects the Save As menu item.
ActiveMenuPick "File"
ActiveMenuPick "Save As"
Notes
• If the menu name contains an ellipsis, do not include it in the menuItem value.
• You may need to insert a Wait command between consecutive MenuPick commands to ensure that the first
menu appears before selecting one of its entries.
• A static text field, such as a text box label, can be selected only if it has an access key (underlined letter).
AppBringUp
Starts the specified application, or reactivates it if it is already running.
Syntax
AppBringUp "appName" [, "cmndLine" [,style[, "dir"]]]
Argument Description
appName A name you assign to the application to be started. This value can be used
again in subsequent AppBringUp instructions to reactivate a running
application. The value has meaning only to Dragon NaturallySpeaking; it has
no effect on the application.
If no other arguments are included, and the appName value has not been used
in a previous AppBringUp or AppSwapWith command, AppBringUp looks for an
executable file named appName in the Dragon NaturallySpeaking Program
folder and in the directores that Windows searches when starting a program.
cmndLine Specifies the application path and any command line switches, such as the
name of a file to open. Long file names are not supported. For program names
it is not necessary to include the extension .EXE.
If the value contains a file name, Dragon NaturallySpeaking starts the
application specified (or, if no application is specified, the program associated
with the file type) and opens the file.
If this argument does not include a full file path, the file must be in the Dragon
NatuallySpeaking Program folder or in a directory that is searched when
Windows starts a program.
style A value indicating the window state in which to open the application. If the
application is already running, this value has no effect.
