orderFrontCharacterPalette works... but with one potentially untenable requirement

  • Thread-topic: orderFrontCharacterPalette works... but with one potentially untenable requirement

    Our application sometimes needs to bring up the CharPaletteServer.

    Fortunately we now have public access to a call in NSApplication to
invoke it.

    One problem. As best I can figure, this call only works if the user
previously manually invoked the CharPaletteServer himself.

    If I create a new user, and run the application on their account, this
call does nothing. If I select "Show Character Palette" from the
International menu, then the call to NSApplication.
orderFrontCharacterPalette works fine every time after that.

    The first fix I tried was to write an Applescript application that
starts the Character Palette at the end of our software installation, but
this only works for the user who installs the package. I need it to work for
every account that ever gets created.

    I'm not positive, but I think the same thing is true for the Keyboard
Viewer.

    Anybody found a way around this?
