Hey Peter, you are right. AXUIElementPerformAction(windowElement, kAXIncrementAction); Has no effect. I also recognized that the AXRaise seems to be not exactly what i wanted. If I raise a window for the first time it works fine. If I raise other windows after that and try to raise the first window again it sometimes doesn't become the "frontMost" window. I guess I have an error in my understanding of AXRaise.
You are right. This is not a suitable solution. I was just happy to see that it could work. The keys I inquire in CGWindowListCopyWindowInfo() are: kCGWindowOwnerPID and kCGWindowNumber (but kCGWindowNumber is totally pointless here because i cannot use it for accessibility api). I try to gather all windows which belong to the same ProcessID so the user can select one and set it front most (using AXRaise).
