Bring Window to Front

Hi all,

I am very new to Cocoa, Objective-C, and Macs in general but I am hoping to eventually drop all Windows programming in favour of Apple (I am a Windows develop by trade).

I am working on my first real Cocoa app and I have a query:

How do I force a window to restore from the dock? I have done some research and found the function to restore a window with the genie effect, but the problem is that the window I want to restore belongs to another program. I want to find the appropriate window for this program and force it to the front in a restored state. The program is Paralells desktop (though I am sure that makes no difference).

Does anyone know how I might do this? In Windows I can use FindWindow with a classname to get the handle of the foreign window and use that. It appears that Carbon has a findWindow and a FindWindowOfClass, but I am not sure if they are what I need.

thanks,
Jamie Frater
