Telling Applescript to activate your standalone should work but perhaps you
need to give the other process some time to complete first, so how about at
the end of your preOpenCard sript...
send "focusMe" to me in 2 secs" # or some other length of time
on focusMe
put into myAppName
put merge("tell application [[myAppName]] to activate") into tScript
do tScript as applescript
end focusMe

Interesting if useless discovery - LC accepts real numbers as Point
values,
ie "22.5,31.7", not just integers. I haven't discovered if it rounds
or
truncates them in use though.
Walt
Walt,
A caution.
LC accepts real numbers as the Loc of objects but integers only as the
points of line graphics.
If you say:
set the points of grc 1 to 100,100 & cr & 200,200.5
the graphic disappears. Worse yet, you get no error message. This
becomes a problem when your points are calculated and the calculation
yields a fraction somewhere without you realizing it.
However if you say:
set the loc of grc 1 to 150,150.7
there is no problem. The 150.7 is truncated to 150.
I have asked RunRev (many years ago) to change this anomalous behavior
but without success.

The dictionary says that if the field is unlocked text then the insertion point is placed after the text in the field. I think I'll suggest that line be removed since it clearly (in a number of tests) places it at the beginning. However, your suggestion works perfectly, thanks! -- Mark -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/focus-question-tp3073660p3074402.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
