I'm working on an app that sometimes launches a background application.
This background application sets LSUIElement to 1 so that it doesn't
show up in the dock and it has no UI.
I use the following code to launch the app (it lives inside my main
app's bundle):
helperPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:helperAppNameShort
ofType:@"app"];
[[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] launchApplication: helperPath];
This works well enough, but my main app's main window becomes deselected
afterwards. Also the menu bar is deselected - I click on the menu bar
and it's "dead" - no menus drop down. Once I click on the main window,
it becomes selected and menus work again.
This seems like a bug (which I'll report if it is) and I'm trying to
come up with a work around. I tried immediately calling
[mainWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront: nil];
[mainWindow makeFirstResponder:mainWindowView];
after the launchApplication method is invoked, but that doesn't help.
Has anyone ran across this?
