Description

Sets the expression to be evaluated when app becomes active.
An app is active when it is receiving events. An active app can be said to have focus. It gains focus after being launched, loses focus when an overlay window pops up or when the device is locked, and gains focus when the device is unlocked.

Version 10.2 and newer stores this in preferences, so it is restored if app when app starts again after being killed in background.
