Yes, but this is Windows. You can't call it JavaScript because then Microsoft wouldn't control it.

Re: Bringing a Window to the Front?
Hi Dave, the idea is that you fill in the name of your standalone instead of "revolution.app" I tested it on a simple standalone on a mac: one button one field (for feedback) on mouseUp pMouseBtnNo put the effective filename of this stack into temp put temp into field "f1" set the itemdelimiter to "/" put last item of temp into tName if the platform is "MacOs" then put tName & ".app" into tName end if if the platform is "Win32" then put tName & ".exe" into tName end if put return & return & tName after field "f1" -- for the IDE -- send "launch" & quote & "revolution.app" & quote to me in 2 seconds -- for the standalone on a mac (tested), should work on windows (not tested) send "launch" & quote & tName & quote to me in 2 seconds end mouseUp for me it works regards Bernd Dave-272 wrote: > > I suppose that might work if I were running under the RunRev IDE but > if I'm running a Standalone then why would I want to launch Revolution? > > All the Best > Dave > > On 10 Jun 2008, at 13:48, BNig wrote: > >> >> Hi Dave, >> >> would >> >> launch"revolution.app" >> >> work for you? >> >> if you start your applescript from your application then at the end >> of the >> script you could put the launch command in your revolution script, >> in my >> testing on a mac with >> >> on mouseUp >> send "launch" & quote & "revolution.app" & quote to me in 2 seconds >> end mouseUp >> >> in a button, then hitting the button and switching manually to another >> application brings back revolution to the front after 2 seconds. >> >> if that works for you it would probably work on windows too. >> >> regards >> >> Bernd >> >> >> >> Dave-272 wrote: >>> >>> Hi All, >>> >>> How can I bring one of my RunRev Stacks/Windows to the Front (so that >>> it is the "front" window).

Re: Bringing a Window to the Front?
Hi, The problem with this is that one the Mac anyway, it changes the window to be a floating window rather than a normal window. Setting the systemWindow to false pushes it back to where it was before, e.g. hidden. What I want is for my App's to be selected and it's (one) window to come to the front. The same action as if you click in the Window with the mouse. All the Best Dave On 10 Jun 2008, at 17:42, viktoras didziulis wrote: OK, it translates to systemWindow.

Hi Dave, would launch"revolution.app" work for you? if you start your applescript from your application then at the end of the script you could put the launch command in your revolution script, in my testing on a mac with on mouseUp send "launch" & quote & "revolution.app" & quote to me in 2 seconds end mouseUp in a button, then hitting the button and switching manually to another application brings back revolution to the front after 2 seconds. if that works for you it would probably work on windows too. regards Bernd Dave-272 wrote: > > Hi All, > > How can I bring one of my RunRev Stacks/Windows to the Front (so that > it is the "front" window).
