Hello all,
I want to write a function that would hide an application and all its associated widnows. I don't know whether there is a certain API I can use, or if I should create and send an AppleEvent (and if so the with what constants) or what to do exactly. All I want to do is to select the typical "Hide Application_Name" option that you find in the Apple Menu in any application in Mac OS X. I just want to do it through code instead of selecting the menu item myself.
Please Advise......

I think that there is an example of this in the Space dockling project. It's available at http://space.sourceforge.net

Is there a way to do it in C++?
My code is not in Objective-C.......I need to know what library or manager to use with C++ on Mac OS X.....

I also want to say that even the common script that is supposed to hide my application doesn't work!!! The script looks like this:
tell application "Finder"
set visible of application "myApp" to false
end tell
I don't know why this doesn't work. I was trying AppleScript because I was thinking of using AETracker to see what kind of events does the script use to hide my application and hence duplicate these sent events. Furthermore, even AETracker doesn't work properly (not with me anyway) when run on Mac OS X.
Is there a way perhaps to chose the Command-H menu item programmatially in Mac OS X?
