How to get the list of apps and control their window size in OS X

[figo77ll]

I want to know the programmatical way to do this.

The list of apps refers to all the apps that are actively running with a UI.

In terms of window size control, I specifically want to know how to maximize it (not to full screen but to full extent - menu bar still will be shown).

I still have this question after reading Apple's Online document library..

Thanks!

tell application "System Events"
	set theApps to get every process whose background only is false
end tell

repeat with anApp in theApps
	tell anApp
		get properties
	end tell
end repeat

Some AppleScript code. Insert some clever code in place of the "get properties" command I have. You might want to see if there is a "bounds" property of the window and set that value to something close to your screen resolution.
