What happens if you send
set frontmost of process yourApp to false
then, using the name of your app? Will it reveal the previous app by a chance?
If not, then is there any way to capture the name of the app you need to activate at an
earlier stage, so you can send it "set frontmost to true" later?

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
I tried the following in AppleScript Editor:
set appList to "processes"
tell application "System Events"
set proCount to count of processes
set appList to appList& "("& proCount& "):"
repeat with x from (1) to (proCount)
set appName to name of process x
set appList to appList& appName& ","
end repeat
end tell
log appList
But the resulting list of apps has only a very rough resemblance to the list
displayed by Command-Tab.
So the following:
NSString *source = @"tell application \"System Events\" to set frontmost of process
2 to true";
NSAppleScript *appleScript = [ [ NSAppleScript alloc ] initWithSource: source ];
NSDictionary *errorInfo;
NSAppleEventDescriptor *aed = [ appleScript executeAndReturnError:&errorInfo ];
[ appleScript release ];
does work in that is activates some app, but process 2 is NOT the previous
active app.
Kind regards,
Gerriet.
