Technical Notes

The Window title parameter supports standard wildcard characters to enable flexible window identification. An asterisk (*) matches any sequence of zero or more characters, while a question mark (?) matches any single character. This allows for partial title matching, such as identifying windows that start with, end with, or contain specific text. Ensure the exact title is used if no wildcards are intended.
