Hi,

I'm looking to detect a visible window  and hide it.

On my morning startup script Skype is launched but the launch time is kind of slow. After the window is visible I would like to hide it.

This errors;
tell application "System Events"
set processlist to name of every process whose window1 is visible
end tell

Any ideas?

Hi Robert,

I'd guess that you meant "window 1" rather than the variable "window1"? But it makes no difference. I simplified your code down to this...
tell application "System Events"
 set processlist to processes
end tell
...and ran it. The result is that my laptop (I'm running 10.6.8) had a meltdown and I had to do a forced shutdown. Something is seriously amiss with System Events' Processes Suite!
