Re: forcing a dialog to be the active (front) window

Still not having any luck with this. I was wondering if it's because I
started with a doc application template.

Could this possibly have any effect?

I have tried what's shown below with no difference. Also tried this:

[medicalAlertPanel orderFrontRegardless];

But it makes no difference.

Basically, the window does **not** become the active window till it's
clicked upon, after the nib file is loaded (it's in a separate nib
file, I'm using what I think is standard code to load it):

- (IBAction) showAlertPanel:(id)sender
{
if (AlertPanel == nil)
{
if (![NSBundle loadNibNamed:@"Alerts.nib" owner:self])
{
NSLog (@"Load of Alerts.nib failed");
return;
}
}
// [medicalAlertPanel makeKeyAndOrderFront: nil]; <- tried this plus
next line
// [medicalAlertPanel orderFrontRegardless]; <- and even together
with no change
}

I'm clueless on this one. Anyone have some ideas to try, or even yet,
can tell me **exactly** what I'm doing wrong?
