Hi there! I'm looking for an easy way to access the main window of another Application, thus not my own. (The key window would be fine as well, if that is easier.) I already searched via Google to solve this task and I found the following solutions:
* use AppleScript to perform this task and integrate it into the Objective-C/Cocoa App with a Wrapper class, i.e. NSAppleScript * use Quartz Window Services * use the NSAccessibility Protocol All three solution don't satisfy me, because a) I wanted to perform the task in Objective-C (not AppleScript), b) the Quartz API looks complicated and inappropriate (maybe I'm wrong - feel free to correct me) and c) I couldn't find any examples on using the NSAccessibility protocol to retrieve the main window, not mentioning the discomfort that the user may activate access to accessibility features first. As you may have guessed, I'm new to Cocoa & Objective-C. I'm here to learn, so I am very open to corrections. Thanks in advance for any hints, corrections, solutions or arguments, why one of the solutions above is in the fact a good solution.
