Hello All,
As one part of an application - I would like to determine whether
or not Dashboard is currently active. I will be doing this within
the context of an event handler that has received a mouse-down/
click event. My application must avoid performing it's logic when
the Dashboard is active - and the logic is kicked off via mouse-
movement / clicks.
Since Dashboard does not represent itself as a process, I can't
simply try to find that process - and the accessibility inspector
shows no information whatsoever when the mouse does not hover over
a widget. I had originally thought I could simply use one of the
AXUIxxxx() calls to determine the AXUIElement heirarchy for the
element under the mouse - but since the AI inspector does
absolutely nothing when the Dashboard is active I've so far assumed
that the Dashboard is a special case and can't be inspected. I
should really get off my lazy ass and try that in my code however.
Anyone else got some tips that'll help me determine if Dashboard is
active?
Thanks in advance,
John Clayton
