Application.FrontmostMBS as boolean

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
property Process MBS Util Plugin ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No Desktop only
Returns true if the application is frontmost.
Example
app.frontmostmbs=True 'bring app to front

This property is for read and write. Writing to it brings the app to front.
Setting this property to false does nothing.

If you need to make some other application frontmost, you can use app.HideMeMBS or use the ProcessMBS class.

Implemented for Windows in version 19.2. When querying, we check if the front window belongs to our application. When setting the plugin builds a list of all FileMaker windows. Than we activate the top most of them and move all other windows in z order behind.
