RE: [MACTCL] How to hide and unhide a wish application by script?

[Alastair D. <ala...@si...>]

It _is_ possible: using the wizardly tclAE package.  Jon Guyer's command
(below) works whether the application is hidden, minimised, or just in the
background.  I agree that the behaviour could be annoying, but there are
cases (two co-operating applications, for example) where it is helpful.

Can I add my thanks to Daniel for his quick work on the Carbon Events
handler?  It is just the ticket!

Best wishes to all,
Alastair

You might consider trying my TclAE package (in Daniel's BI distro):

[dogbert:~] guyer% /usr/bin/wish
% package require tclAE
2.0
% tclAE::send -s misc actv

This sends an activate AppleEvent to "self"

Is it possible with this commands to show the app when it is hidden?

Or is this an intentional gap to prevent apps from disturbing the 
user?  I would like to let the user choose wether the app should 
only signal a new state or come to the foreground (but thinking more 
about it, the latter could be very annoying).
