Choose Application Closes Last Window

Scripting Forums AppleScriptObjC and Xcode
#1

Hello,
As part of my on-going project, I use a choose application command. I also am using the command:

	
on applicationShouldTerminateAfterLastWindowClosed_(sender)
		return true
end applicationShouldTerminateAfterLastWindowClosed_

The problem is that when I press “Cancel” on the choose application window, it terminates my application even though that I still have my main window open. Is there a fix for this?

Thanks,

Wrap your “choose application” statement in a try block and trap error number -128 yourself.

Hmm, still doesn’t work… here is my code:


	on myButton_(sender)
		try
			set randomVar to (choose application with prompt space & space & tab & tab & tab & tab & tab & tab & tab & tab & "Choose an application.")
			set otherVar to randomVar
		end try
	end myButton_

Your code works for me.

Could it be that your window is really a panel?

A ha! Works like a charm.

Thank you very much!
