I am trying to make a simple AppleScript to open Spotify on my computer. I have assigned Spotify to always open on Desktop 2. However, every time it opens, it switches my focus from whatever desktop I am currently using to Desktop 2 where Spotify is being opened. Is there any way for me to prevent this, that is, for the app to open without switching my focus to a different desktop?
Current code:
tell application "Spotify"
activate
delay 3
playpause
end tell
I have also tried to open Spotify using commands like open -g -a 'Spotify', but this just opens the app in the background and still switches desktops.
Thanks for the help.
I am trying to develop an app like application locker for windows phone. Whenever other applications are launched, I want my application window to be on the top of that selected application to lock that. How can I make my application window to be on the top of all windows ? Is there any windows API for doing it ?
On Windows 8 they've replaced the Start Menu with a Start Screen using Metro GUI.
Desktop applications can be run from this screen, but when they exit the user is left at the desktop.
Is there a Windows setting that will return to the Start Screen automatically when the application is closed, if it was launched from Metro?
Or is there an API available so that the application itself can detect whether it was launched from Metro and then switch back to it as it is shutting down?
(I want something automatic or programmatic. "Press the Windows key" is not an acceptable solution.)
Window 8 metro GUI is working like Start menu so I will change my application's setup program to put some command line options for desktop menu shortcut and pick it up from Param array.
When closing I would try sending Windows button combination (Ctrl+Esc) to windows. Actual code to do that depends on the language used to develop your app. If developed in .Net following class can be helpful
System.Windows.Forms.SendKey.Send

If my wxWidgets application creates a new window while the application does not have focus, its taskbar icon blinks yellow until I switch to it, as shown here:
This is annoying. How can I prevent this from happening?
EDIT: The original version of this question suggested the blinking was happening during startup. After further investigation, this is not occurring right at application startup; rather, it occurs if I create an additional window while the application does not have focus.
To give a bit more background: my application is a sort of server, that opens windows in response to network events. If I boot up the application, then switch focus to something else and a network event comes in while the focus is elsewhere, my application will open a new window in the background (not grabbing focus) and this blinking will occur.
The windows are wxFrames; the application constructs them and their child widgets, then calls Show(true) on the frame.
Also, I've attempted to set a breakpoint on the FlashWindow Win32 API function, hoping to trap wherever in WX it's getting called, but haven't been able to make that work.
Maybe the following would work:
wxTopLevelWindow::ShowWithoutActivating ( )

Yes. If you create a new top level window while the app does not have focus, then the task bar icon will flash. This is the intended behaviour of the windows operating system.
My application is causing the following strange behavior on Windows 8:
Conditions:
My native WinAPI application is started automatically upon Windows 8 startup.
Windows remains at the Start screen immediately upon startup.
When my application creates a window, Windows switches to desktop away from the Start screen. The window created is toolbar window, it does not steal the user focus, used as status display.
This only happens when the window is being created not immediately after the startup, but some seconds later.
My question: How can I prevent Windows switching to desktop when my window appears?
Well, you can manage start up applications. Turn it off for your application. And it should work.
