Cocoa: Hide one application

Hey, I was wondering if it’s possible to make a button do the CMD + H command on other running apps?

This was how I was thinking:

The user will get a window like the force quit window you can open by clicking on the Apple logo > Force Quit. This window displays all running apps. and instead of having a force quit button there it would be a Hide button. So the user select which app that should be hided and then click on the hide button.

Thank you in advance!

I know you can do this with AppleScript. Something like

tell application "System Events" to set visible of process "AppName" to false

I’ve seen people make scripts like this and tie it to a Quicksilver trigger to do various things with other apps.
