If I understand your goals correctly, you can send the following
AppleScript script:
tell application "System Events" to set frontmost of process yourApp to true
You can use NSAppleScript of Scripting Bridge (although the latter maybe
an overkill for just one line).

I have an app A, where I can select a word and press a button.
This starts (or activates) another app called B, which displays some

Works fine so far.
But if there is no information about the word, app B should make app A active
again.
But how?
(B should not be hidden; it should remain visible, so that the user sees: "Word not
found".)
I tried [NSApp deactivate] - the documentation says, I should not use this
method - and indeed, it makes the B-window look inactive, but does NOT make A
active - the menu bar still belongs to B.
No good.
The there is NSWorkspace runningApplications - but: "The order of the array is
unspecified".
Not really useful.
I just want the equivalent of Command-Tab: making the next most recent app
active.
There probably is a simple, direct and obvious solution. But I cannot see it.
Kind regards,
Gerriet.
