Hi,
I've posted some code that does what you want:
<http://blog.coriolis.ch/2008/03/04/bring-any-window-to-the-front/>
It doesnt use any undocumented tricks, just the CGWindow API. As such,
it works only with Leopard.
Have fun,
Stephan

Hi everyone,
I'm relatively new to Mac development and would love to have any
suggestion to the problem I'm facing. I've tried searching for a
solution some weeks now, and still nothing really useful. Anyway,
this is what I'm trying to do:
Given a window's TITLE, how do you create a reference to it,
determine what kind of application the window is (the name of the
application/executable)? and how do you move that window to the front?
For example, if I have a Safari window with the title "My Website",
how do find the window, make a reference to it, check what kind of
application this is (the answer is Safari) and then bring it to the
front?
I tried using Carbon's Window Manager, but it wasn't able to see
system-wide
windows. Applescript is also not very useful since the application
I'm trying to support doesn't support some of the basic window
scripts.
So, I looked at Accessiblity API and NSApplication looks somewhat
promising because it can give out its NSWindow children reference
and there are functions to activate them. One missing piece of the
puzzle though, is that I couldn't find any way to get a list of
system-wide processes and create a NSApplication reference to them.
Does anyone has any idea about this?
Thank you!
