What kind of task are you trying to accomplish? Are you sure you
have to
know whether a dialog is open in iTunes? AFAIK you can't do anything
similar, in any application.
If I want to add a track to iTunes, I need to make sure iTunes is
responsive.
Interestingly enough, iTunes sends a distributed notification
(listenable via NSDistributedNotificationCenter) whenever it shows or
hides a modal dialog. It even sends the resource ID (in the
iTunes.rsrc file) of the particular dialog along with the "show"
notification.
I don't have the specific notification name on hand here at work, but
you can easily discover it by writing a simple test app that listens
for every distributed notification.
