Hi all,

I have a UiApplication that launches another application from within it. I'm launching the Profiles application using invokeLater.
When I launch it, the Profiles application is in focus and *seems* to be the active screen, however, when I call UiApplication.getUiApplication.getActiveScreen() it always reports back to me the name of MY application screen.
I've even gone so far as to launch a separate thread that reports the active screen every second or so, and it also always reports the name of my screen.

Is there any way for me to get a handle to the Profiles application dialog screen?

Thanks in advance!

When you say always, do you mean that it NEVER tells you the active screen is the new app you opened? Or just when you start it up? Is it possible the app you are starting has the same name, so it looks like you've never changed the active screen?

Alternatively, maybe because it's launched inside your first app, the parent app name is always returned because the app you loaded is just another instance of it.

Both these situations are only possibilities if you can NEVER return the new apps name. Both these ideas could also be wrong. Just some ideas.

The application I am running is called "Sandbox", and I launch the built-in "Profiles" (The speaker icon) application. I want to be able to get a handle to the screen that is displayed by the Profiles application.

No, you can't get the pointer to a Screen that is owned by an outside application.

UiApplication.getUiApplication() will always return your own application instance
