If you mean "put all other applications in front of your", then
the =20
only way is to bring every other application to the front , like
this:
tell application "System Events" --or "Finder" for MacOS 9
set i to every process whose frontmost is false
set c to 1
repeat
if c > (count items of i) then exit repeat
set p to item c of i
set frontmost of p to true
set c to c + 1
end repeat
end tell
(but the second case should probably not be done).
Yep that be it.
Humm, this can't be done by declares ?
Yes, it can be done. I remember having seen a "Process Declares" (or
such name) RB project, when RB 3 was the current version. I think
it's not simple but it is possible.
This shouldn't be done ? Why's that ?
This is mostly my opinion.
I believe it 's not recommended in the Apple Interface Guidelines. I
don't know if I'm right, but this approach seems disapointing (I'd
like to do that sometimes, but it's not "classic").
First, you have to take care of processes the user has explicitly
hidden. You should not make them visible again.
Second, bringing an app to the front also brgins all of its windows
to the front. An user may explicitly keep a window to the back but
bring another window of the same app to the front. You don't preserve
the order of the windows using the code above. (argument mostly for
MacOS X).
Third, since "send to back" is not a declare, I believe there are
other cases where you should avoid doing that.
I was just testing out something I wanted to try.
This did work, though it means having apple script installed.
...the MBS plugin also handles process' declares in an easy way.
