Hi folks, I'm currently a writing a new tool for OS 7.0 which stays most of the time in the background for the sake of easy and fast access but it's NOT a background-only application. I ran into a problem when I tried to figure out how to kick myself in the background (oops, the application, for sure) according to the 'Hide <currentApp>' menu command of the Finder. First of all I thought of emulating the events to give the Finder the impression the user had moved my app in the background but this seems to be lots of work and trouble. Second I checked the AppleEvent Registry to send the Finder an AppleEvent to perform this task but my version of the registry didn't reveal an event according my needs. Is there any 'clean' way to code this stuff?! Any hints, ideas, comments or just a cool discussion are welcome. Tnx 1.0e6 in advance and best regards Thorsten tkramp@aragon.stgt.sub.org
