Specifically, in his case, wouldn't it be:

aDictionary valueForKey:@"NSApplicationName"] isEqualToString: @"MyApplication"

?

I do not understand why this code completes with the specified application not being active .. when it really is? I really need your help.

	BOOL         AppActive = NO;
	NSWorkspace  *workSpace;
	NSArray      *runningAppDictionaries;
	NSDictionary *aDictionary;

	workSpace = [NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace];
	runningAppDictionaries = [workSpace launchedApplications];

	for (aDictionary in runningAppDictionaries) {

		if ([aDictionary valueForKey:@"NSApplicationName"] == @"My Application") {
			AppActive = YES;
			break;
		}

	}

	return AppActive;

Thanks ...

Because operator overriding does not exists in Obj-C and so, == is a pointer comparaison and not a string comparaison.

use the isEqual: method to compare two object.
