I have an app A, where I can select a word and press a button.
This starts (or activates) another app called B, which displays some 
information about this word.

Works fine so far.

But if there is no information about the word, app B should make app A active 
again.
But how?
(B should not be hidden; it should remain visible, so that the user sees: "Word 
not found".)

I tried [NSApp deactivate] -  the documentation says, I should not use this 
method - and indeed, it makes the B-window look inactive, but does NOT make A 
active - the menu bar still belongs to B.
No good.

The there is NSWorkspace runningApplications - but: "The order of the array is 
unspecified".
Not really useful.

I just want the equivalent of Command-Tab: making the next most recent app 
active.

There probably is a simple, direct and obvious solution. But I cannot see it.

Kind regards,

Gerriet.

P.S. 10.7.2
