Thanks. I understand and I can see that both the CPSProcessSerNum and
ProcessSerialNumber works fine and that the Carbon API is simply
wonderful. That's not the issue. I simply would like to understand how
it works...
Not understanding a thing about how DisplayPostScript (aka Quartz)
works, lets look for David C. Lambert's Fiend -the best Dock extension
produced by mankind so far- for some help... Damn, cannot find the
original code... But wait... Here is an old port of it to Mac OS X
Server by Steve Nygard of OmniGroup fame... Lets take a look... Here it
is:
PScountwindowlist (0, &count);
PSwindowlist (0, count, windowNumbers);
safeGetCurrentOwner (windowNumbers[l], &anOwnerContext)
Then further down:
status = safeUnhideContext (ownerContext, YES, YES, hideOthers);
Ok... Sounds simple enough... But where is <AppKit/psopsNeXT.h>? Damn!
Cannot find it. However there is something called NSGraphics. And here
are a couple of interesting functions:
APPKIT_EXTERN void NSCountWindows(int *count);
APPKIT_EXTERN void NSWindowList(int size, int list[]);
APPKIT_EXTERN void NSCountWindowsForContext(int context, int *count);
APPKIT_EXTERN void NSWindowListForContext(int context, int size, int
list[]);
But where do I find those safeGetCurrentOwner and safeUnhideContext?
Should I dig into the Adobe stuff? Where is the doc for Quartz?
Any insight or pointers greatly appraciated!-)
Thanks.
PA.
