Greetings,
I am adding keyboard access to my menu bar based to-do list
application so that users can bring the application forward no matter
what application they are in.
When the user presses their hot key or clicks the menu bar icon to
launch the application, the application launches as it should and
posts a notification letting me know that the window has
application's main window has dropped down.
From here the user should be able to use the arrow keys to navigate
the outline view and manipulate data. Unfortunately, the previous
application they were working in still has the focus of the keyboard.
When the notification posts letting me know the main window has
dropped this code is executed:
-(IBAction)checkOffActivated:(id)sender {
[oWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:self];
[oOutlineView selectRow:1 byExtendingSelection:YES];
}
While the row is selected in my column view, the oWindow window still
doesn't have the focus of the keyboard until I click the mouse on
it. If you would like to see this in action (its somewhat difficult
to explain) you can download this beta of the application:

To summarize, I don't understand why calling makeKeyAndOrderFront
isn't giving my window the focus as it should.
Any suggestions are welcomed. Thanks.
