    Example
    This example shows how to get a handle to the application that has focus.
    //This sample gets all of the unnamed terminal controls running in an instance of Reflection.
    //Before you run this sample, make sure at least one session is running in a Reflection workspace. 
    //If more than one instance of Reflection is running, the session must be running in the first instance that was started.
