Subject: Re: SystemConfiguration framework in Cocoa?
I am trying to wrap this into a Cocoa app, though, and having some
real issues... This is unfamiliar ground for me, in several areas.
First, the whole "background faceless" app thing, how to get it to
now show up in the dock or application switcher/etc...
I don't think I can help you with your other problems, but to solve
the one above:
In Project Builder, go to the Targets tab, and click on the main
target. Then click "Expert View" under the Info.plist section. After
the view appears, click the "New Sibling" button and name the new
sibling "NSBGOnly". Set its class to "Number" and set its value to
"1". That should do the trick. When you launch the application it
should not show up in the Dock, Force Quit window, etc.
I haven't played much with UI's with background applications, but
incase you decide you need a preferences window for your BG app or
something, I think if you use a "Non activating Panel", as set for
*NSPanels* (not regular NSWindows) in the Info Panel in Interface
Builder, you may be able to get around some issues. If you need to use
the regular NSWindows in your background app, you might check for
"NSBGOnly" on google. One article that might help is here:

Good luck, hope this is helpful,

If I were smart I'd have a company to tell you the address of.

if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic."
