Everyone knows about the “hide” command or “Command & H” keyboard command for the finder. My question being, is there an applescript command for it? I’ve tried “hide” in and out of tell blocks without success.

Here is an example:

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

ThankyouThankyouThankyou!!! I had been using distiller in one of my scripts and it wouldn’t go away.

No problem.

Another way is

tell application "System Events"
	keystroke "h" using command down
end tell

which I would have put in my first post, but I had to figure out why it would’t work - I typed “with”, not “using” :rolleyes:
