Try using AppleScript:

activate

Zach,
None of these works in my case. A carbon app with the code I sent
earlier
comes to the fore just fine, but the Cocoa app does not. Here is the
complete section of code I have tried:
// method 1
[window makeKeyAndOrderFront:self];
// method 2
// ProcessSerialNumber processSerialNum;
// GetCurrentProcess(&processSerialNum);
// SetFrontProcess(&processSerialNum);
// method 3
// [NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES];
I tested each method bu its self and of course I didn't have it
commented
out when I tested it!

I have a Cocoa application which needs to be launched from a script.
In the past (using Carbon Applications) I have used this in the
application:
ProcessSerialNumber processSerialNum;
GetCurrentProcess(&processSerialNum);
OSErr persOSErr = SetFrontProcess(&processSerialNum);
with complete success, however it does not seem to work for Cocoa
applications. I would rather not have to rewrite this as a Carbon
app
if I
can help it.
Does anyone know how to do this with Cocoa?
[NSApp activateIgnoringOtherApps:YES];
Or you can send -makeKeyWindow to one of your windows.
Is that what you're looking for?
