Well, obviously it does not.
You'd need a NSWorkspaceDidActivateApplicationNotification, but it
looks like there is no such thing. You could periodically poll -
[NSWorkspace activeApplication], but I hope someone has a better
idea, because if you do I would not want your process running on my
Mac.
For typical apps, you can register for the Carbon event
(kEventClassApplication, kEventAppFrontSwitched) which will let you
know as apps get activated.
However, I doubt the Dashboard is a typical app in this sense. I
haven't tested that assumption, though. Perhaps the Accessibility API
will help, in that case.
Cheers,
Ken
