Querying the front application


  • Subject: Querying the front application
  • From: Alexander Powell <email@hidden>

I have tried to do a bit of searching to find a solution, but all of the old posts on this subject seem a bit out-of-date... so I was wondering:

Is there a currently recommended way for a Cocoa app to register for a notification or something when the front-most application changes?

After that's done, how could one query what application is now the front-most?

I have a need to write a simple faceless utility that only does its thing when a particular application is in the foreground.

Thanks a bunch!
