Excellent, that should do  ;-)

I was hoping for a Cocoa-riffic way to do those two things, but I suppose a few lines of Carbon code won't hurt...

Thanks for the speedy reply!

Call GetFrontProcess() to get the front process and install a carbon event handler for kEventClassApplication/ kEventAppFrontSwitched.

Is there a currently recommended way for a Cocoa app to register for a notification or something when the front-most application changes?

After that's done, how could one query what application is now the front-most?

I have a need to write a simple faceless utility that only does its thing when a particular application is in the foreground.
