  {
    for (var i = 0; i < arWindows.length; i++)
      if (arWindows[i].Focused)
      {
        strFullName = arWindows[i].FullName;
        break;
      }
  }

Use Object Spy on the window - can you see FullName in there?

Hi Marsha_R ,

 

Sorry that I should write the question in more details. I had updated the question.
