JavaScript, JScript

function TestProc()
{
  var p, w;

  p = Sys.Process("notepad");
  w = p.Window("Notepad", "*");

  if (w.Exists)
    w.MainMenu.Click("File|Open...");
}

Python

def TestProc():
  
  p = Sys.Process("notepad")
  w = p.Window("Notepad", "*")

  if (w.Exists):
    w.MainMenu.Click("File|Open...")

VBScript

Sub TestProc
  Dim p, w

  Set p = Sys.Process("notepad")
  Set w = p.Window("Notepad", "*")

  If w.Exists Then
    w.MainMenu.Click("File|Open...")
  End If
End Sub

DelphiScript

procedure TestProc;
var p, w : OleVariant;
begin
  p := Sys.Process('notepad');
  w := p.Window('Notepad', '*');

  if w.Exists then
    w.MainMenu.Click('File|Open...');
end;

C++Script, C#Script
