bringing all app windows to front


  • Subject: bringing all app windows to front

I notice my Cocoa apps don't automatically bring all their windows to
front when I switch to my app via LaunchBar (the Dock works fine). This
seems to be not a strict Cocoa/Carbon thing, as BBEdit displays the same
behavior while Safari does not.

I emailed Norbert about it, but he seems uninterested in "fixing" it.

So, what's the canonical way to bring all my Cocoa windows to front when
my app switches in? I suppose there's a delegate method to implement
(applicationDidBecomeActive: looks promising) but how do I tell all my
windows to "come to front" without effecting their ordering, all the
while taking things like document windows, alert panels and floating
windows into account?
