Starting Application - Making sure it comes to front

andyh1234 · Post by **andyh1234** » Thu Mar 27, 2008 2:02 pm

Just ironing out all the little issues with my little program.

One thing I find a little annoying is that if I start the app, and click on another while it loads, it loads but hides behind whatever im using. Its confused a few people as they have clicked the icon but then as it takes a few seconds to load first time they dont realise the stack has loaded behind the window they are working on (eg internet explorer), double click the icon to start it again and end up with two copies.

VB programs automatically jump to the front when they have loaded, is there any way to make Rev programs do this with a command at the end of the open stack.

Hi Andy,

maybe this link will help you:

It looks like that you cannot do this on Windows with the build-in capabilities of the OS.

I think the Float Above Everything property for the stack would work for you. You could even set it to false after a certain time period.

Hi Mark,

very cool script, thank you!

Do you know if this might eventually work with:
do XYZ as "vbscript"
?

Hi Klaus,

I haven't tested it, but I don't see why it wouldn't.

Best,

Mark
