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.
I was not able to reproduce this behaviour. Are you sure the AXWindow
element is still valid when you call it again?
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).
Cheers
Benedikt
Important to know you let the user select the window, maybe from a
popup button? In this case, simply gather the AXTitle attributes for
the application's kAXWindowsAttribute elements. Populate the popup
button (or whatever you present to the user) with these. The
selection will tell you which AXWindow to raise.
Representing AXTitle attributes to the user is presumably a lot more
transparent than everthing CGWindowListCopyWindowInfo() is guaranteed
to provide, since kCGWindowName is only an *Optional* Window List
Key, and, as the docs say: "...(Note that few applications set the
Quartz window name.)"
Cheers,
Peter
