Launch apps - Glasswarp

Launch a Windows application on the rig and drive it with vision + input.

Launch

result = gw.launch_app(sid, path=r"C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe")
print(result)  # {'ok': True, 'pid': 14180}

Pass arguments when needed:

gw.launch_app(sid, path=r"C:\Windows\System32\mspaint.exe", args=[])

Drive it

After launching, use observe to find targets and input to act:

gw.launch_app(sid, path=r"C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe")

obs = gw.observe(sid, mark=True)
edit = next((t for t in obs.targets if t.role == "edit"), None)
if edit:
    gw.click_target(sid, edit.id, targets=obs.targets)
gw.type_text(sid, "Driven through the Glasswarp API")

Clean up launched apps

gw.kill_app(sid, pid=result["pid"])   # or kill all session-launched apps

Session-launched apps are cleaned up by safety_restore on session end, but kill long-running apps explicitly when your task is done.

See the Notepad example and Paint example for complete scripts.
