Charles;
Because I need to convert the app from a background (LSUIElement=1)
application.
I am not aware of an AppleScript way to do that.
If there is one, can you share a pointer?
Thanks for your time!

Folks:
I'm looking for some advice on how to code around a Leopard bug
(radar 5905139 & 5599887).
Leopard broke the following:
OSStatus returnCode = TransformProcessType(&psn,
kProcessTransformToForegroundApplication);
TransformProcessType used to bring a background app to the
foreground, which it still does EXCEPT for the fact that the
menubar does not get correctly established until the user first
brings another app to the foreground and then re-establishes the
'wounded' app as the foreground. Once this 'app toggling' is done,
all is well.
So I can trap Tiger v. Leopard and do toggling only on Leopard,
that's pretty straight-forward.
What I'm looking for is best advice on how to get the menubar to be
'right' in code.
I've tried:
[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] launchApplication:@"Finder"];
followed by an Applescript to 'activate' myself.
OK it works, but it jarring to have the 'Finder' just suddenly jump
into view and I'm quite sure customers will NOT like it.
Any thoughts?
Also any thoughts on how possibly to code this so that when, or if,
Apple ever fixes TransformProcessType that the fix might right
itself and not require a new version.
Why not just use the AppleScript to bring your app to the foreground
in the first place, instead of TransformProcessType?
