Hiding apps with AppleScript (Score:1)

by Corvidae (6991)

Now I find out that there is no (or is no documented) way to hide an application from AppleScript. (By hide, I mean what happens when you hit Cmd-H.)
Try:

tell application "System Events"
set visible of process "Stickies" to false
end tell

Hope it might help in the future. Not sure if or where it might be documented, though. Unlike the GUI scripting feature, which also uses System Events (and is well documented), it doesn't seem to require "Enable access for assistive devices" to be turned on

  Thanks! I wrote this script, quite some time ago:

  but subsequently I've switched to using Sidenote.app
