Frontmost app


  • Subject: Frontmost app
  • From: Steve Roy <email@hidden>

Is there a better way to tell the frontmost app to do something than the
following?

tell getFrontApplication() to display dialog "Hello"

on getFrontApplication()
tell application "Finder"
set theList to name of every process whose frontmost is true
end tell
return application (theList as string)
end getFrontApplication
