Folks:I'm looking for some advice on how to code around a Leopard bug (radar 5905139 & 5599887). Leopard broke the following:OSStatus returnCode = TransformProcessType(&psn, kProcessTransformToForegroundApplication);TransformProcessType used to bring a background app to the foreground, which it still does EXCEPT for the fact that the menubar does not get correctly established until the user first brings another app to the foreground and then re-establishes the 'wounded' app as the foreground. Once this 'app toggling' is done, all is well.So I can trap Tiger v. Leopard and do toggling only on Leopard, that's pretty straight-forward.What I'm looking for is best advice on how to get the menubar to be 'right' in code.I've tried: [[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] launchApplication:@"Finder"]; followed by an Applescript to 'activate' myself.OK it works, but it jarring to have the 'Finder' just suddenly jump into view and I'm quite sure customers will NOT like it.Any thoughts?Also any thoughts on how possibly to code this so that when, or if, Apple ever fixes TransformProcessType that the fix might right itself and not require a new version.Thanks, Steve
Hi, Steve,The docs appear to mention something that may be of use -- see the Discussion for TransformProcessType():
You can use this call to transform a background-only application into a foreground application. A foreground application appears in the Dock (and in the Force Quit dialog) and contains a menu bar. This function does not cause the application to be brought to the front; you must call SetFrontProcess to do so.
Apologies if you are already, but -- are you calling SetFrontProcess()?
Cheers,
Andrew
