Thanks Bruce and David for replying...

I am now trying to hide all of the Filemaker Pro windows, and have come
up with this code:

tell application "FileMaker Pro"

	set WindowNumber to 1
	repeat with i from 1 to the count of windows
		set visible of window WindowNumber to false
		set WindowNumber to WindowNumber + 1
		display dialog "I have hidden window " & WindowNumber --Just
testing...
	end repeat

end tell

But this code fails to hide the last window. Why?

There has to be one last window visible?

Isn't there a "every window" option or still "all windows"?

I can't test for that in FileMaker right now, Bernardo - although "every window" (or even just "windows") would certainly work in some applications.


I guess you're still ending up with visible windows because, while your script is counting upwards, FileMaker is actually reducing the number of windows. You could try something like this instead:

----------------
tell application "FileMaker Pro" to repeat with n from (count windows) to 1 by -1
set visible of window n to false
end repeat
----------------


or:

----------------
tell application "FileMaker Pro" to repeat while window 1's visible is true
set window 1's visible to false
end repeat
----------------


You might even consider hiding FileMaker altogether - perhaps with something like this:

----------------
tell application "System Events" to set process "FileMaker Pro"'s visible to false
----------------
