The root element is usually the desktop and doesn't have any siblings.
Move to the first child before iterating across the siblings.
You can use
While Walker.GoToNextSibling()
As this returns false when there is nothing to move to rather than limiting
your loop to an arbitrary number.
I think the FSUIA object also has a GetRootElement() option so you don't need
to get the walker to move there. Small difference but slightly more efficient.
SetFocus and GetWindowPattern might need the brackets afterwards but it
wouldn't surprise me if it works without.

I'm still struggling with the SetWindowVisualState mmethod. I use
scripts using the following function to quickly move from one program to
another. Occasionally, the program I'm moving to is and I
can't interact with it. I haven't been able to set the visual state to
"maximized" when the focus moves to a minimized window. Again, any help
would be appreciated. Here's the function:
String Function MoveToProgram (string ByRef ProgramName)
var
Object MyObject = CreateObjectEx("FreedomSci.UIA", false,
"UIAScriptAPI.x.manifest"),
Object MyTreeWalker = MyObject.ControlViewWalker (),
Object Pattern = MyTreeWalker.CurrentElement.GetWindowPattern,
Int Safety = 1
MyTreeWalker.CurrentElement =
MyObject.GetElementFromHandle(GetAppMainWindow(GetCurrentWindow()))
MyTreeWalker.GoToRootElement
While Safety <=10
MyTreeWalker.GoToNextSibling
If StringContains (MyTreeWalker.CurrentElement.name, ProgramName)
SayString ("Moving to " + ProgramName)
myTreeWalker.CurrentElement.SetFocus
Pattern.SetWindowvisualState(WindowVisualState_Maximized)
Return
EndIf
Safety = Safety+1
EndWhile
EndFunction

I cant remember the line to declare the the UIA object so some lazy code
below:
hWnd = GetAppMainWindow(GetCurrentWindow())
Element = UIA.GetElementFromHandle(hWnd)
Two options:
PatternObject = Element.GetWindowPattern()
PatternObject.SetWindowVisualState(WindowVisualState_Maximized)
Or single line:
Element. GetWindowPattern().SetWindowVisualState(WindowVisualState_Maximized)
Hope this helps

Good afternoon,
I'm hoping someone can give me an example of how to use the
SetWindowVisualState method to maximize a window. Thanks much.
