Hey Peter and Uli, @Peter: and this is possible using the windowID? I used it a couple of weeks ago and during this time I was talking to the apps using "tell [APP_NAME] ..." But I need to bring a window to front and not a process. And I already saved the windowID I obtained from CGWindowListCopyWindowInfo.
@Uli: I am already working with the Accessibility API but I don't have a chance of setting the frontmost window if I only have the window-server's windowID. Thanks for your suggestions and I would be very happy if somebody has an idea how to solve this problem.
