OK. I got a (partial) bug report that bring to front wasn't working,
and I went off on the wrong tangent…thanks for everyone's replies--I
was taking the documentation out of context…

In 10.3.8 (haven't tested in other OS versions), my app's, "Bring All
To Front" isn't working--it's bringing only the frontmost window
forward from the Dock. Also, clicking on the app's icon in the Dock
has the same (wrong) behavior. If I minimize two document windows,
then click on the app, only one of the windows comes off the Dock∑
According to the documentation
(http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/WinPanel/
Concepts/ChangingMainKeyWindow.html):
"Users can bring all windows of an application forward by clicking its
icon in the Dock or by choosing Bring All to Front in the
application‚s
Window menu. These actions should bring forward all of the
application‚s open windows, maintaining their onscreen location, size,
and layering order within the application."
What do I need to do to get this behavior working in my app? It seems
all done by Cocoa
What is it that you think is not working? "Bring All To Front" is not
a Dock
menu item; it's a normal Window menu item, and it works fine in my
apps.
Minimized windows rightly are not unminimized by this (I'd be furious
if
they were) - as the docs say, the windows' location, size, and layering
order is maintained, and being minimized (i.e. invisible) is part of
that.
