Command line app / AUVal / authorization dialogs

Hi all,

Am working on a command line app which needs to access AUs, however, I'm running in to the following problem described by Bill Stewart a year or so ago:-

>>>
One of the problems that was encountered by the Logic team as they integrated auval within their application was the fact that some AU's will directly invoke UI code when they are either opened or initialized. In some cases this is ok, but in other cases where the UI is a modal dialog (a standard alert for instance), it can be deadly as the auval process will just stall, and because auval is a command line utility, not a UI app, there is no way for a user to click through a dismiss the dialog.
<<<


Thing is, I've done things a bit differently to AUVal -- although my app is command line based, it does have a message loop, and it calls AEInteractWithUser which /should/ bring it in to the foreground and allow the user to click through any authorization dialogs the plug-ins might pop up.

However, even having done that, the authorization dialogs seem to be frozen and can't get focus (don't respond to mouse clicks). I can't understand why this is, as my app has a run loop, and I've set it to be the foreground process.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
      Angus.
