When using the following:

on printChart
  answer page setup as sheet
  if the result = "cancel" then
     exit printChart
  end if
  answer printer as sheet
  if the result = "cancel" then
     exit printChart
  end if
  print card from topLeft of me to bottomRight of me into tPrintRect
end printChart

After the script has finished the window to which the sheets are attached does not have the focus.

This does not seem correct.

Does anyone know?

Mac 10.9.2

Thanks

LC 6.5.2 Community

Terry,

The script works for me on Mac OSX 10.8.5 with LC 6.5.2

Have you tried stepping through your script with the debugger using breakpoints to see where it loses focus?

It might be LC interacting with 10.9.2.

I have built a standalone app as I thought it might be the IDE but it still does it in the standalone.

If I place open wd "myWindow" in the script that does resolve the issue because open wd clearly brings the parent window to the front in the pecking order.

Is there another way to achieve the same as open wd which does seem rather brutal?

All the best

Terry
