Warning at end of script to bring to front

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#1

I have a script that is saved as a application. I need it to pop up a warning as it finishes running.

-- Then show the dialog with warning icon
display dialog "Please check the sender email before sending." buttons {"OK"} default button "OK" with icon caution

I tried this and it works, but I need it to come to the front of everything, presently it hides under other stuff.

How to fix?

#2

Put the command activate before the display dialog

#3

OK thanks. would that mean that until I hit the OK button the warning stays on top and after that Outlook shows?

#4

No. It only means the dialog will initially be frontmost. You can still click on other open apps to bring them frontmost while the dialog is open.

#5

Thanks, always learning stuff.

#6

You never stated if you wanted the warning dialog to stay atop.

There is a conversation about a System Modal Dialog here.

Nonetheless, like @robertfern said, I’d recommend against using one; just activate first so the dialog comes front-most.
