Syntax

AppIsRunning(strAppTitle { | ,optNumTimeout } )

strAppTitle: The full title (as shown in the title bar) of the application window.
optNumTimeout: The timeout period (in milliseconds) for the function to be successfully executed. If, for whatever reason, the function is not executed in this period, then it is aborted.
This is an optional parameter. If no value is specified, then the default timeout is five seconds (or 5000 milliseconds).

This function will return one of the following values:

Value	Description
`0`	ERROR: The specified application window is not open or otherwise did not respond within the timeout period.
`1`	SUCCESS: The specified application window is open and running.

AppIsRunning is similar to the function IsWindow in the Microsoft Windows API. For more information, please refer to the Windows API documentation.
